What binary format does this tool accept?

The tool expects space-separated 8-bit groups, for example "01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111". Each group must be exactly 8 bits (0s and 1s).

Can it handle multi-word or multi-line binary input?

Yes. You can paste multiple lines or a long string of space-separated bytes and the tool will decode all of them into a continuous text string.

Does this support characters outside the basic ASCII range?

The tool decodes binary byte-by-byte using character codes 0–255. Standard ASCII (0–127) is fully supported. Extended characters (128–255) are decoded using their Latin-1 equivalents.

What happens if a binary group is not exactly 8 bits?

Groups with a length other than 8, or those containing characters other than 0 and 1, are flagged as invalid and an inline error is shown without crashing the tool.

Is there a limit on input size?

There is no hard limit, but very large inputs (millions of characters) may slow down the browser because everything runs client-side in JavaScript.
