Frequently asked questions

How is the binary calculated?

Text is encoded as UTF-8 bytes, and each byte is shown as 8 binary digits. This matches how computers store characters, so emoji and accented letters convert correctly.

What format should binary input be in?

Use groups of up to 8 ones and zeros separated by spaces, e.g. "01001000 01101001". Anything else is flagged as invalid.
