What is the Binary & Text Converter?
Convert text to and from four different number bases — binary, hexadecimal, octal and decimal — using a simple two-pane, live-converting interface. Switch between Binary→Text and Text→Binary modes with dedicated tabs, or use the Multi mode to see a single piece of text represented in all four bases side by side at once.
A separator option lets you control how the encoded output is grouped (spaces, dashes or none), and a live stats row shows input/output character counts, total bytes and the currently selected encoding, so you always know exactly what you're looking at.

Questions people ask
Is this converter free?
Yes, free with no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser.
What's the difference between this and other binary/hex converters on the site?
This tool adds octal alongside binary, hex and decimal, and includes a Multi mode showing all four bases for the same text at once, rather than switching manually between two bases.
Can I convert binary back to text?
Yes, switch to Binary→Text mode and paste your binary, hex, octal or decimal string in.
Does it handle non-English text?
Yes, standard character encoding is used so accented characters are supported, though multi-byte characters produce more encoded output per character.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No, all conversion happens locally in your browser.
