How to Turn Normal Words into Computer Code

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

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

It looks like total nonsense to normal humans. If you look at it, it just looks like '0100000101000010'. But to a computer, that is a perfectly normal sentence!

You can actually translate normal, everyday words into this secret computer language using our fun Binary Converter tool.

Type any word you want into the tool, and watch it instantly turn into ones and zeros. It is like being a secret spy hacker!

You can even copy a secret binary message from a friend and use the tool to translate it back into normal words that you can actually read. Try it out with your own name!
