Frequently Asked Questions

How does text to binary work?
Each character in your text is converted to its ASCII code (a number), then that number is written in base-2 binary, padded to 8 bits. For example, 'A' = 65 = 01000001 in binary.
What's the difference between 8-bit and UTF-16?
8-bit encoding uses one byte (8 bits) per character and covers the standard ASCII range (0–127). UTF-16 uses two bytes (16 bits) per character and supports the full Unicode range including emoji, Chinese, Arabic, and other scripts.
Can I convert emoji or special characters?
Yes — select UTF-16 encoding for emoji and non-Latin characters. In 8-bit mode, only characters with ASCII values 0–255 will convert correctly.
Is there a character limit?
No limit — the tool handles any length of text entirely in your browser. For very large outputs, use the Download button.
