Binary code is the language of computers. There are only two values in binary:
1 and 0
To translate your plaintext into binary, simply start typing into the respective input field below.
When counting, we use the decimal system, sometimes without ever realising it. The decimal system means we have 10 numbers to work with (0-9). Computers, however, work with 2 numbers (0 and 1). It is possible to do all calculations in a different system, then convert back to one we fluently comprehent and still get the right result. After all, this is what our computers do.
Converting text into Binary code, however, is a bit trickier and can be thought of as a cipher. First, a number needs to be assigned to every possible character. For this, we have the internationally agreed ASCII table. This number is then converted into binary. To be able to distinguish which chunks of 1's and 0's are part of which character, we use spaces after (only applies to this application).
Example:
Text: "Binary"
ASCII: 66, 105, 110, 97, 114, 121
Binary code: 1000010 1101001 1101110 1100001 1110010 1111001
