Binary to ASCII Text Converter

Decode 8-bit binary numbers back to human-readable ASCII text characters.

How to use it

  • Paste binary byte sequences to decode to text.

Examples

01001000 01101001Hi

This reverses the usual text-to-binary encoding: each 8-bit group (byte) in the input is read as a number from 0-255, then mapped back to the ASCII character it represents. 01001000 is 72 in decimal, which is the ASCII code for 'H'.

Binary bytes can be separated by spaces, or run together — the tool splits any continuous string into 8-bit chunks automatically.
