Frequently asked questions
How is text encoded to binary?
The text is UTF-8 encoded to bytes, and each byte is written as 8 binary digits, separated by spaces — so Unicode characters produce multiple bytes.
What format does decoding expect?
Space-separated groups of binary digits (usually 8 bits each). The tool reassembles the bytes and decodes them as UTF-8.
Is my input uploaded?
No — conversion happens entirely in your browser.
