From Code to Characters: How Computers Read Binary 💻

Binary code is the most fundamental language of computers, consisting of only two digits: 0 and 1. Every piece of data on your computer—from text and images to software and sound—is ultimately stored as a long sequence of these ones and zeros. This tool lets you perform the "translation" from this machine language back into human-readable text.

Decoding with Character Sets

The process of converting binary to text relies on a standardized system called a character encoding. The most common is ASCII, which assigns a unique number to each character. For example, the number 65 represents the uppercase letter "A".

This converter works by taking your binary input, grouping it into 8-bit chunks (called bytes), and then performing a two-step conversion for each chunk:

  1. Binary to Decimal: It converts each 8-bit binary number into its equivalent decimal (base-10) number. For example, the binary 01000001 is converted to the decimal number 65.
  2. Decimal to Character: It then looks up this decimal number in the ASCII table and finds the corresponding character. In this case, 65 maps to the letter "A".

The tool repeats this process for every byte in your input, stringing the resulting characters together to form the final text. This is precisely how computers render text from the raw data stored in memory or files.
