About this tool
Text is converted to UTF-8 bytes first, so ASCII letters become one byte and other characters become two to four. Bytes can be shown as 8-bit binary, two-digit hexadecimal or decimal values separated by spaces.
When decoding, separate bytes with spaces or commas.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do some characters give several bytes?
- UTF-8 uses one byte for English letters and up to four bytes for other characters and emoji.
- Can I decode binary without spaces?
- Separate each byte with a space so the tool knows where each one ends.
