Binary / Hex Text Converter
Convert plain text into binary and hexadecimal values, or decode space-separated binary and hex sequences back into text.
Run tool
This online converter translates plain text into binary numbers and hexadecimal values, or converts encoded binary and hex data back into readable characters. When encoding text, each character is transformed into an eight-digit binary byte and a two-digit hexadecimal pair, formatted neatly with single spaces between items. For decoding, the tool processes space-separated sequences of binary digits or hexadecimal codes and converts them back into plain text. If your encoded input consists entirely of zeros and ones, the tool automatically interprets the input as binary. When letters or numbers outside base two are detected, the input is processed as hexadecimal code instead. Leaving the text area blank produces empty output fields without error. If you enter an invalid character code sequence during decoding, the interface informs you by displaying an invalid input notice in the decoded result area. Enter your content directly into the text box and select your conversion direction to begin.
Instructions
- Enter your plain text or space-separated binary/hex code into the text input area.
- Choose your conversion direction by setting the mode field to encode text or decode values.
- Run the tool to view the converted output in the result panel.
Examples
- Encoding the word 'Hi' generates '01001000 01101001' in binary and '48 69' in hexadecimal.
- Decoding the binary string '01001000 01101001' or hex string '48 69' reconstructs the plain text word 'Hi'.
FAQ
How does the tool distinguish between binary and hexadecimal inputs during decoding?
When decoding, the converter checks every space-separated token. If all tokens contain exclusively 0 and 1 characters, the string is parsed as binary. If any token contains other digits or letters, the entire input is parsed as hexadecimal.
What happens if I enter an empty text string?
An empty text field processes without error and returns empty result fields.
Do binary tokens need to be exactly eight digits long?
The decoder splits input across whitespace and parses tokens based on character content rather than enforcing a strict eight-digit byte width.
What appears if the input contains malformed or unconvertible codes?
If the decoder encounters unconvertible values during parsing, the output panel displays an invalid binary or hex input notice.
