Question 1

How does text to binary conversion work?

Accepted Answer

Each character has an ASCII code number. This number is converted to its binary (base-2) representation. For example, 'A' is ASCII 65, which in binary is 01000001.

Question 2

What's the difference between binary, hex, and octal?

Accepted Answer

They're different number systems. Binary (base-2) uses 0 and 1. Hexadecimal (base-16) uses 0-9 and A-F. Octal (base-8) uses 0-7. All represent the same values in different formats.

Question 3

Can I convert binary back to text?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This tool works bidirectionally. Enter binary in the output field and get the original text back. Works for hexadecimal and octal conversions too.
