Binary to Text Converter
Decode binary, hex, or octal back to readable text instantly
Frequently Asked Questions
What binary formats does this tool support? +
This tool supports binary (base 2), hexadecimal (base 16), and octal (base 8) input. It can also auto-detect which format you're using based on the characters in your input.
How does auto-detect mode work? +
Auto-detect examines your input characters. If only 0s and 1s are found, it assumes binary. If characters a-f or A-F are present, it assumes hex. If only digits 0-7 are found (and groups of 3), it assumes octal. You can always override by selecting the format manually.
Do I need to separate binary bytes with spaces? +
Spaces are optional but recommended for readability. The tool will try to split binary input into 8-bit groups automatically if no spaces are provided. For hex, it splits into 2-character pairs, and for octal, 3-character groups.
Is my data processed on a server? +
No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device, making this tool completely private and secure.
Can I convert text to binary as well? +
This tool is designed for decoding binary/hex/octal back to text. For encoding text into binary, check out our Text to Binary tool.
