Convert Text to Binary Code - ASCII to Binary Translator

What is the Text to Binary Converter Tool?

The Text to Binary Converter is a free online utility that transforms plain text characters into their binary (base-2) representation, converting letters, numbers, and symbols into strings of 1s and 0s. This tool encodes each character using its ASCII or Unicode value, then converts that value into 8-bit binary code that computers can understand.strongdm+2

Whether you're a computer science student learning binary systems, a developer working with low-level programming, a cryptography enthusiast encoding messages, or someone curious about how computers represent text, the CyberTools Text to Binary Converter provides instant, accurate conversion from human-readable text to machine-readable binary format.smallseotools+1

What is Binary Code?

Binary code is the fundamental language of computers, using only two digits: 0 and 1. Every piece of information in a computer—text, images, videos, programs—is ultimately stored and processed as binary numbers.smallseotools

ASCII Encoding Standardconvertbinary+1

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns numeric values to characters:convertbinary

0-31: Control characters (non-printable)
32-126: Printable characters (letters, numbers, symbols)
127: Delete character

Common ASCII values:

Capital letters: A=65, B=66, C=67... Z=90
Lowercase letters: a=97, b=98, c=99... z=122
Numbers: 0=48, 1=49, 2=50... 9=57
Space: 32

Binary Representation

Each ASCII character converts to 8 bits (1 byte):smallseotools


text
A (65) = 01000001
a (97) = 01100001
1 (49) = 00110001

Understanding Binary Numbers

Binary Number System Basics

Binary is base-2 - uses only 0 and 1:

Decimal vs Binary:


text
Decimal: 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
Binary:  0  1  10 11 100 101 110 111 1000 1001

Binary Place Values

Each position represents a power of 2:


text
128  64  32  16  8  4  2  1  (place values)
 2⁷  2⁶  2⁵  2⁴  2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰

Example: 01001000 (letter H)
= (0×128) + (1×64) + (0×32) + (0×16) + (1×8) + (0×4) + (0×2) + (0×1)
= 0 + 64 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 0
= 72 (ASCII value for H)

Why 8 Bits?

One byte = 8 bits allows representation of:

0 to 255 in decimal (256 values)
Enough for all ASCII characters (128)
Standard computer memory unit
Efficient storage and processing

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between binary and hexadecimal?

Binary (Base-2):

Uses: 0, 1
Example: 01001000 = H
Longer representation
Direct computer language

Hexadecimal (Base-16):

Uses: 0-9, A-F
Example: 48 = H
Shorter, more compact
Easier for humans

After conversion: You can convert binary to hexadecimal for shorter display.convertbinary

How many bits represent one character?

Standard representation:smallseotools

8 bits (1 byte) for ASCII characterssmallseotools
16 or 32 bits for Unicode in some systems
Variable length for UTF-8 encodingstrongdm

Can I convert special characters and emoji?

Yes, with proper encoding:strongdm

ASCII - Limited to 128 characters
Unicode/UTF-8 - Supports all charactersstrongdm
Emoji - Requires Unicode encoding
Select UTF-8 for full character supportstrongdm

Is binary case-sensitive?

Yes, uppercase and lowercase are different:


text
A (65) = 01000001
a (97) = 01100001

Different ASCII values produce different binary codes.

Why does "Hello" create such a long binary string?

Each character needs 8 bits:


text
"Hello" = 5 characters × 8 bits = 40 bits total
Binary: 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111
Spaced: 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111
