Text to Binary Converter

How to manually convert text to binary?

To manually convert text to binary, follow these steps:

1. Identify the character: Take each letter, number, or symbol from your text one by one.

2. Find the ASCII value: Each character has an ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) value. You can look up this value in an ASCII table. For example:

   • The letter "A" has an ASCII value of 65.
   • The letter "a" has an ASCII value of 97.

3. Convert the ASCII value to binary: Convert the decimal ASCII value to binary. To do this:

   • Start with the highest power of 2 that is less than or equal to the ASCII value.
   • Subtract this value and repeat the process with the remainder until you reach 0.
   • For example, the ASCII value 65 converts to binary like this:
     • The highest power of 2 less than 65 is 64 (which is 262^626).
     • Subtract 64 from 65, leaving 1.
     • The binary for 64 is “1000000”.
     • Add a “1” at the end to account for the remaining value, resulting in “01000001” (adding a leading 0 for a full 8-bit binary number).

4. Repeat for all characters: Convert each character in your text this way.

5. Combine the binary codes: Once each character is converted, string the binary codes together to get the binary representation of your text.

For example, converting “Hi”:

• "H" has an ASCII value of 72 → binary: 01001000
• "i" has an ASCII value of 105 → binary: 01101001

So, “Hi” in binary is “01001000 01101001”.
