How to Turn Normal Words into Computer Code

Discover how computers talk using ones and zeros, and learn how to translate it easily.

Did you know that your computer does not understand the alphabet? When you type the letter 'A' on your keyboard, the computer actually sees a secret code made entirely of ones and zeros.

This secret language of ones and zeros is called Binary Code. Every single letter, number, and picture on your screen is just a huge pattern of these two numbers.

It looks like total nonsense to humans, but you can actually translate normal words into this computer language using our Binary Converter tool.

Type any word you want into the tool, and watch it instantly turn into ones and zeros. You can even copy a secret binary message from a friend and use the tool to translate it back into normal words!
