Frequently Asked Questions

Does the binary input need spaces between bytes?
Spaces between 8-bit groups are optional. The tool accepts binary strings with or without spaces and handles both formats automatically.
What happens if I enter invalid binary?
If the input contains characters other than 0 and 1, or if the total bit count is not divisible by 8, the tool displays a clear error message explaining the problem.
Can I decode binary messages sent by others?
Yes. Paste any binary-encoded message and this tool will decode it back to its original text instantly.
