Frequently Asked Questions
What format should the binary input be in?
Enter space-separated groups of 8 binary digits (bits): 01001000 01101001. Each group of 8 represents one character.
What if my binary has no spaces?
Without spaces, the tool reads every 8 characters as one byte. Make sure your binary is in multiples of 8 digits.
Can it decode non-ASCII binary?
Our tool handles standard ASCII characters. For extended Unicode binary, you'd need to specify the encoding (UTF-8 or UTF-16).
What is ASCII?
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a 7-bit character encoding standard mapping characters to numbers 0-127. 'A'=65, 'a'=97, '0'=48.
Can I decode binary from a QR code?
If you have the raw binary data from a QR code, yes. But QR codes use a more complex encoding than simple ASCII binary.
