- Hello
Decode binary back into readable text. Paste 8-bit groups, with or without spaces, and the tool reassembles the original message. It reads each group as one UTF-8 byte, so it handles accented and non-Latin characters, not just plain ASCII.
How this is calculated
Whitespace is stripped, then the remaining bits are checked to be only 0 and 1 and a multiple of 8. Each 8-bit group is parsed as a byte, and the byte sequence is decoded as UTF-8. Input that is not valid UTF-8 is rejected rather than shown as garbled text.
How to use
- Paste the binary you want to decode.
- Spaces between groups are optional and ignored.
- Read the decoded text and copy it if you need it.
Examples
- Spaced groups:
01001000 01101001 becomes "Hi" - Continuous bits:
0100100001101001 also becomes "Hi"
FAQ
- Do I need spaces between the bytes?
- No. Spaces are optional. The tool removes all whitespace first, then reads the bits in 8-bit groups.
- Why do I get an error on some input?
- The bits must be only 0s and 1s and a multiple of 8. If the resulting bytes are not valid UTF-8, the tool reports that instead of showing broken characters.
- Can it decode accented characters?
- Yes. Each 8-bit group is a UTF-8 byte, so multi-byte characters like é decode correctly when all their bytes are present.
