What Is Binary Code?
Binary code is the fundamental language of computers. It uses only two digits — 0 and 1 — to represent all data. Every letter, number, and symbol you see on screen is stored as a sequence of these binary digits (bits). In the ASCII standard, each character maps to a unique 8-bit binary number. For example, the letter "A" is 01000001 and "B" is 01000010.
This binary translator converts English text to binary code and translates binary back to English instantly. Whether you need to translate words to binary for a computer science class, decode a binary message from a friend, or simply explore how binary code works — this free tool has you covered.

FAQ
What is binary code?
Binary code is a number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Computers use binary to store and process all types of information including text. In ASCII encoding, each character is represented by an 8-bit (one byte) binary number — for example, "A" = 01000001.
How do I convert English to binary?
Each letter is first mapped to its ASCII decimal value (A=65, B=66, etc.), then that number is converted to base-2 binary and padded to 8 digits. For example: H=72=01001000, i=105=01101001, so "Hi" in binary is "01001000 01101001".
How do I translate binary to English?
Switch to the "Binary to English" tab, paste your binary code (each 8-digit group separated by a space), and the tool instantly decodes it back to readable English text.
What is "Hi" in binary?
"Hi" in binary is 01001000 01101001. The letter H is ASCII 72 (01001000) and lowercase i is ASCII 105 (01101001).
What is the alphabet in binary?
Each letter of the alphabet has a unique binary code: A=01000001, B=01000010, C=01000011 ... Z=01011010. Click "Alphabet to Binary Chart" above to see the full table.
