Binary to Text
Decode binary code back into readable text. Fast, free and private.
A string of 0s and 1s is unreadable until it's decoded. Binary to Text takes binary code and turns it back into the characters it represents, so you can read a binary-encoded message or verify a conversion.
How to use binary to text
- 1. Paste your binary (groups of 0s and 1s).
- 2. It's decoded back into text.
- 3. Copy the readable result.
When to use Binary to Text
Decode a binary message
Read a message that was written out in binary.
Check a conversion
Confirm that binary you produced maps back to the right text.

Decoding letters with accents
The bytes are read as UTF-8, so a letter like ă has to arrive as both of its bytes (11000100 10000011). If a group is missing or wrong, you get an error instead of a garbled character, which tells you the binary is incomplete. Any character other than 0 and 1 — commas, dashes — is treated as a separator.
Frequently asked questions
How should the binary be formatted?
Groups of up to eight 0s and 1s separated by spaces or line breaks. You can also paste one long run of bits with no spaces — it's split into groups of eight.
What if my binary is invalid?
Groups that don't map to a valid character can't be decoded; check that each byte is complete and correct.
Is my input private?
Yes — decoding happens in your browser.
