How binary translation works
Example
Hello, world! Converted instantly in your browser - 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.

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?
