Paste binary code, in groups of eight or one long run, and read it as text at once, including accented letters, other scripts and emoji written as UTF-8. If the code turns out to be decimal or hex, it is read that way and the page says so. A table shows every character with its bytes.
How it works
Binary to Text Converter is a web page that does its work on your own device. Everything you type or choose is worked out by your browser and never sent to a server, so nothing is stored and there is nothing to delete. There is no account, no sign-up and no limit on how often you use it.
A secret message?
Binary is not a code in the secret sense: anyone can read it. To keep a message private, use real encryption.
Questions
What if the binary is not a multiple of eight digits?
Put spaces between the groups; each group is then read as one number even if it is shorter than eight digits.
