Text to Binary Converter
Turn text into its binary representation for learning, coding exercises, and digital-data examples.
How to use this calculator
Enter the source value and select the correct source and target units. The safest check is to convert a familiar value first, then confirm that the direction of the conversion is the one you intended.
Formula
Text is converted to binary using the selected character encoding, commonly UTF-8, where each byte is represented by 8 bits.
Conversion check
For conversions, keep the source and target units visible when copying the answer into another calculation. If the result looks unexpectedly large or small, check the conversion direction and the unit labels before assuming the number is wrong.
