1 Enter text or binary

UTF-8 aware — emoji, accents and non-Latin scripts encode as their real byte sequences.

2 Direction & format

Output format
Uncheck for one continuous bit string.
Spaces in text
Uncheck to skip spaces when encoding.

💻 Result

Type above and hit Convert — each character becomes its UTF-8 bytes in 8-bit groups.
🎉 Free forever. No sign-up. No credit card. No limits.

This converter runs entirely in your browser — convert as much as you like, as often as you like.

How it works

Encoding converts your text to its UTF-8 byte sequence first (that’s why emoji like 😀 become four byte groups), then writes each byte as an 8-bit group of 0s and 1s. Decoding reverses it: the bit string is split into bytes and read back as UTF-8, with validation that catches stray characters or lengths that aren’t multiples of 8.

Everyday uses

  • Computer science homework: check your hand-converted binary against the real UTF-8 bytes.
  • Fun messages: send binary-encoded notes friends have to decode.
  • Debugging data: see exactly which bytes a string contains when encodings misbehave.
  • Learning encoding: type an emoji and watch it expand into four byte groups — UTF-8 made visible.
  • Puzzles and CTFs: decode binary challenges in either direction instantly.
