Text to Binary Converter
Use our free Text to Binary Translator to instantly convert words, letters, or complete text files into binary code. Each character is represented using an 8-bit ASCII binary equivalent (0s and 1s). Whether you need binary for programming, data security, or learning purposes, this tool provides quick and accurate conversions in seconds.

Text to Binary conversion means encoding normal text (letters, numbers, or symbols) into binary digits (0 and 1) using ASCII codes. Each character is assigned an 8-bit binary sequence. For example:

  • A → 01000001
  • B → 01000010
  • C → 01000011
  • Type or paste the text you want to convert (e.g., Hello).
  • Optionally, upload a text file from your device.
  • Click the “Convert” button.
  • The tool instantly displays the binary output.
  • Copy the result or download it as a text file.

Binary code is the fundamental language of computers. Converting text to binary can be useful for:

  • Learning & Education – understand how computers process data.
  • Programming – test encodings and debugging.
  • Data Security – encode sensitive text for safe communication.
  • Quick Conversion – save time vs. manual ASCII lookups.

Each character has an ASCII value (a number), which is then converted into an 8-bit binary sequence.

Example:

  • H → ASCII 72 → Binary 01001000
  • e → ASCII 101 → Binary 01100101
  • l → ASCII 108 → Binary 01101100
  • l → ASCII 108 → Binary 01101100
  • o → ASCII 111 → Binary 01101111

"Hello" in binary = 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111
