FAQ

What format does the binary use?

Each character becomes an 8-bit byte (its UTF-8 encoding), separated by spaces — e.g. "A" becomes "01000001".

Does this handle emoji and non-English characters?

Yes — text is encoded as UTF-8, so any character that fits in that encoding round-trips correctly, though some characters use more than one byte.

Why did Binary → Text fail on my input?

Each group must be 1-8 characters of only 0s and 1s, separated by spaces — check for stray characters or missing spaces between bytes.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No — conversion happens entirely in your browser.
