How to use Text to Binary Converter

1. Select Text to Code or Code to Text.
2. Choose Binary, Hexadecimal, Octal or Decimal and enter the corresponding input.
3. Check the result; use Swap when you want to reverse the conversion.

Worked example

Try the letter A: its ASCII-compatible value is 65 in decimal, 41 in hexadecimal and 01000001 in binary.

Is this encryption?

No. Numeric encoding is reversible and does not protect the contents.

Why might decoding fail or show unexpected characters?

The numeric base, separators and character encoding must match the source. Use a small known sample before decoding a large string.
