Binary to ASCII Converter

Decoded ASCII Text

About This Tool

Decode space-separated binary bytes back into readable ASCII text. Paste binary output from serial logs, network captures, or encoding exercises and instantly see the original characters. Each 8-bit group is interpreted as one ASCII character code (0–127). This tool is the reverse of ASCII-to-binary encoding — essential for CTF challenges, UART debugging, and understanding how text is stored in computer memory at the bit level.

Worked Examples

Input: 01001000 01101001 → Output: Hi

01001000=72=H, 01101001=105=i

Input: 01000001 01000010 01000011 → Output: ABC

65=A, 66=B, 67=C — consecutive uppercase letters

Input: 00110001 00110000 00110000 → Output: 100

49="1", 48="0", 48="0" — digit characters, not the number

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert binary to ASCII?

Split binary into 8-bit groups, convert each group to a decimal number (0–127), then look up the corresponding ASCII character for that code.

What if a binary byte is not valid ASCII?

Standard ASCII only covers codes 0–127. If a byte converts to a value above 127, it falls outside standard ASCII and may display as a control character or placeholder.

Do I need to separate bytes with spaces?

Yes — since ASCII characters are 8 bits each, the converter needs space separation to know where one character ends and the next begins.

Can this decode binary messages?

Yes. If someone encoded a text message as binary (e.g., in a puzzle or CTF challenge), paste the binary here to reveal the original text.

What is 01000001 in ASCII?

01000001 = decimal 65 = uppercase letter "A". This is one of the most commonly referenced ASCII codes in computer science.
