How binary to text conversion works
Each group of eight bits is one byte. 01001000 is 72, which is H; 01101001 is 105, i. Separate the groups with spaces. The bytes are decoded as UTF-8, so multi-byte characters such as é (11000011 10101001) come back correctly.
Common questions
How do I convert binary to text?
Paste the binary with a space between each 8-bit group and click Convert. Each group becomes one byte of the text.
What if my binary has no spaces?
Split it into groups of eight digits first, starting from the left; a missing leading zero shifts every following character.
