What is a binary translator?

A binary translator is a tool that converts data between binary code (0s and 1s) and other formats like text, decimal numbers, or hexadecimal. It helps you understand how computers store and process information by translating human-readable content into machine language and vice versa.

Is Binary Translator free to use?

Yes! Binary Translator is completely free to use with no registration required. All conversions happen in your browser, ensuring privacy and unlimited access to all features including voice input, camera OCR, code generation, and file uploads.

How does binary conversion work?

Binary conversion works by representing data using only two digits: 0 and 1. For text, each character is converted to its ASCII or Unicode value, then to binary. For numbers, decimal values are divided by 2 repeatedly, with remainders forming the binary representation. Our tool handles all these conversions automatically in real-time.

What's the difference between text to binary and decimal to binary?

Text to binary converts characters using encoding standards (e.g., 'A' becomes 01000001 in ASCII - the code for letter A). Decimal to binary converts numbers into base-2 notation (e.g., the number 65 becomes 1000001 - the mathematical value). Text conversion uses character codes, while decimal conversion is pure mathematical base conversion.

Can I convert large files?

Yes! Binary Translator supports file uploads for processing large documents including text files (.txt, .md, .csv, .log), document files (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .pdf), and code files (.js, .html, .css, .py, .java, .cpp). The conversion happens entirely in your browser for maximum privacy and speed.

Absolutely! All conversions happen 100% in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is transmitted to external servers, stored in databases, or shared with third parties. Your privacy is completely protected as everything processes locally on your device.

What encoding should I use?

UTF-8 is recommended for 99% of use cases as it handles all languages, emoji, and special characters while remaining efficient for English text. Use ASCII only for basic English (A-Z, 0-9, basic symbols). Regional encodings like Big5 (Chinese), GB2312 (Simplified Chinese), Shift JIS (Japanese), and EUC-KR (Korean) are available for specific language requirements.

Can I generate code from conversions?

Yes! Our advanced code generation feature creates ready-to-use conversion functions in JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, C++, and PHP. Perfect for developers who need to implement binary conversion in their own projects or applications.

How do I use the voice input feature?

Click the microphone icon in any converter, allow microphone access when prompted, and start speaking. The tool uses speech recognition to convert your spoken words into text, which is then automatically converted to binary. This feature works best in Chrome, Edge, and Safari browsers.

What is the ASCII table used for?

The ASCII table shows the standard character encoding for computers, mapping each character (letters, numbers, symbols) to a decimal value and its binary equivalent. Our interactive ASCII table lets you search, copy codes instantly, and understand how text is stored in computer memory.
