How to Convert Binary to Text (Step-by-Step)

Every piece of text displayed on a computer screen is represented internally by numerical values based on character encodings like ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and UTF-8.

When you paste a string of binary digits into our converter, here is the exact algorithm executed in your browser:

1. Parsing & Chunking: The binary stream is split into groups of 8 digits (each group is 1 byte). For example, 01000011 01100001 01110100 is divided into 3 distinct bytes.
2. Binary to Decimal: Each 8-bit byte is converted from Base-2 into a standard Base-10 integer. For example: \((0 \times 128) + (1 \times 64) + (0 \times 32) + (0 \times 16) + (0 \times 8) + (0 \times 4) + (1 \times 2) + (1 \times 1) = 64 + 2 + 1 = \mathbf67\).
3. Character Mapping: The decimal value 67 is looked up in the standard ASCII character table, which corresponds to the capital letter 'C'.
4. String Assembly: This process repeats for every byte until the entire sentence ("Cat") is reconstructed and displayed.
