Binary Translator
Translate text into 8-bit binary or decode binary back into readable text. Full UTF-8 support, nothing uploaded.
How the binary translation works
Computers store text as numbers, and this binary translator shows you those numbers. In Text to Binary mode, each character is encoded as UTF-8 and written out as 8-bit groups separated by spaces, so a capital A becomes 01000001 and the word Hi becomes 01001000 01101001. In Binary to Text mode, those same groups are read back into characters. Swap moves the result into the box so you can send it straight back the other way. It all happens locally, so nothing you paste leaves your device.
Emoji and accented letters
Plain English letters are one byte each, so one character gives you one 8-bit group. Accented letters and emoji take more than one byte in UTF-8, so é becomes two groups and ☕ becomes three. The line under the result tells you how many characters and how many bytes you are looking at, and decoding puts the multi-byte characters back together exactly as they were.
What the decoder accepts
- 8-bit groups separated by spaces, tabs, line breaks or commas.
- A run of bits with no separators at all, as long as it is a whole number of bytes.
- Groups written with a 0b prefix, like 0b01001000.
Anything else gets a plain note instead of a broken result: it names the group that is not made of 0s and 1s, says how many bits a short group has, points at the leftover bits when a long run does not divide into bytes, and tells you when the bytes are not valid UTF-8 text.
A memory for the snippets you convert
Conversions pile up fast: a string here, a payload there, all of it gone the moment you close the tab. Relic keeps an end-to-end encrypted, searchable history of everything you copy, on every device, for as long as you want it. The translator is free, and your copied results never have to vanish again.
