Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is text to binary conversion?
Text to binary conversion is the process of translating human-readable text into binary code (0s and 1s). Each character is converted to its numerical equivalent (using a standard like ASCII or UTF-8) and then that number is represented in 8-bit binary format.
Are my uploaded files safe?
Yes, your files are completely safe. This tool operates entirely on your own computer (client-side). Your text and your files are never uploaded or stored on our servers, ensuring your data remains private.
Why does the tool support .docx but not .pdf files?
We support .txt and .docx files because their text content can be extracted securely right in your browser. PDF files are much more complex—they are more like images of documents—and safely extracting text from them would require powerful server-side processing. This goes against our privacy-first policy of never uploading your files. By handling .docx files client-side, we can offer more functionality without compromising your security.
What is binary code used for?
Binary code is the most basic language of all digital computers. It is used to represent every piece of data, from text and images to software instructions, in a format that electronic circuits can process.
