Binary / Hex Converter

Convert text to binary, hex and octal representations and back.

How to use this tool

Type or paste text.
View live binary, hex and octal columns.
Paste codes into the right column to decode back.

How it works

TextEncoder produces UTF-8 bytes which format into base-2, base-16 and base-8 with consistent column separation.

Tips

Group hex pairs for byte-oriented debugging.
Binary columns are long — hex is usually the practical view.

Limitations

Decoding expects consistent byte separators; malformed input is rejected with feedback.

Frequently asked questions

How is text converted to binary?

Each UTF-8 byte becomes an 8-digit binary number; bytes separate by spaces.

Can I also get hex?

Yes — binary, hex and octal views generate simultaneously.

Will Unicode work?

Yes — UTF-8 byte encoding handles emoji and accented characters.
