Binary to Text

Decode complete binary bytes to UTF-8 text. Paste spaced or continuous bits, then copy or download the decoded result.

Recover text from a byte dump whose bits are already written as zeros and ones. The decoder strips whitespace, checks the byte boundaries and rejects invalid UTF-8.

About Binary to Text

Recover text from a byte dump whose bits are already written as zeros and ones. The decoder strips whitespace, checks the byte boundaries and rejects invalid UTF-8.

Whitespace handling

Accepts spaces and line breaks between bits.

Strict decoding

Rejects incomplete bytes and invalid UTF-8.

How to use Binary to Text

  1. 1

    Paste a byte dump

    Paste the bits in Source text.

  2. 2

    Check the bit characters

    Remove commas, prefixes and other non-bit characters.

  3. 3

    Read the decoded text

    Press Process, then copy or download the text.

Formats and practical limits

Binary digits and optional whitespace in, UTF-8 text out.

  • After whitespace is removed, the input needs a nonempty multiple of eight bits.
  • The source field has a 100,000-unit processing limit. Arbitrary binary file contents may fail the UTF-8 check.

Practical example

11000011 10101001 decodes to é.

Frequently Asked Questions

2 answers
Can I paste one continuous bit string?

Yes. The decoder splits it into consecutive eight-bit bytes.

Why does 11111111 fail?

That byte by itself is invalid UTF-8.
