How binary translation works
Example
Hello, world! 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00101100 00100000 01110111 01101111 01110010 01101100 01100100 00100001 - Your text is converted to UTF-8 bytes, the standard encoding used across the modern web.
- Each byte is displayed as eight binary digits. For example, uppercase A is 01000001.
- Swap the direction to decode valid 8-bit binary groups back into readable text.
Quick reference
Common words in binary
Each word is written as UTF-8 bytes, with one space between every 8-bit group.

Frequently asked questions
What is a binary translator?
A binary translator converts readable text into groups of 0s and 1s, or decodes those binary groups back into text.
Is my input uploaded?
No. EncodeLab performs this conversion locally in your browser. Your input is not sent to an EncodeLab server or stored by us.
Which character encoding does this tool use?
EncodeLab uses UTF-8, so it supports English text, accented characters, symbols, and emoji.
Can I translate binary back to text?
Yes. Use the swap control and enter binary as 8-bit groups separated by spaces.
