❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does text to binary conversion work?
Each character is converted to its ASCII code (0-255), then that number is represented in binary (base-2). For example, "A" = 65 = 01000001.
What are the different binary formats?
Spaced: separates each byte with a space. Grouped: groups bits in sets of 4 for readability. Continuous: no spaces, pure binary string.
Can I convert binary back to text?
Yes! Switch to "Binary → Text" mode and paste your binary code. The tool automatically converts it back to readable text.
Why is each character 8 bits?
Standard ASCII uses 8 bits (1 byte) per character, allowing 256 possible characters (0-255). This covers all English letters, numbers, and symbols.
