ASCII to Binary Converter

Why Use Our ASCII to Binary Tool?

Computer memory stores data in binary (0s and 1s), but humans use ASCII decimal codes (0-255) to represent characters. This ASCII to Binary Converter bridges that gap instantly. It is essential for computer science students learning memory management and developers analyzing data streams.

Unlike manual calculation, this tool eliminates errors by handling padding automatically. It operates entirely in your browser using JavaScript, ensuring your input data remains private and secure—it never touches a server.

How to Use

1. Enter Data: Paste your decimal ASCII codes (e.g., 65 66 67) into the input field.
2. Configure: Select the separator used in your input (Space, Comma, etc.) and choose if you want spaces between the output bytes.
3. Convert: Click the "Convert" button to generate the 8-bit binary strings instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to convert ASCII into binary?

To convert, translate the decimal ASCII number into base-2. For instance, '65' becomes '1000001', padded to 01000001. Our tool automates this instantly.

What is 01101111 in ASCII?

This binary byte equals decimal 111. In standard ASCII encoding, 111 represents the lowercase letter 'o'.

How to find ASCII value in binary?

Locate the character's decimal value in an ASCII table (e.g., 'C' is 67). Convert 67 to binary: 64+2+1 = 1000011. Pad with a leading zero to make it 8 bits: 01000011.

Is ASCII in binary?

ASCII is a standard map assigning numbers to characters. Binary is the language computers use to store those numbers. So, ASCII defines the value, and binary stores it.

What is the ASCII code for space in binary?

The space character has a decimal value of 32. In 8-bit binary, this is represented as 00100000.
