How to use Text to Binary
- Choose Encode to turn text into 8-bit binary byte groups, or Decode to turn binary bytes back into text.
- Use spaces for readable byte groups or continuous output when another system expects a compact string.
- Copy the output after checking that Unicode text is represented as UTF-8 bytes.

Hello
FAQ
Short answers before you paste real data.
Does this use ASCII or UTF-8?
Encoding uses UTF-8, so plain ASCII characters map to one byte while many non-English characters use multiple bytes.
Can I paste binary without spaces?
Yes. Decoding ignores whitespace, but the remaining input must contain only 0 and 1 and have a length divisible by 8.
Is binary encoding encryption?
No. Binary is a representation of bytes, not a security layer.
