Binary to Text Converter

In short Binary to text converts groups of eight bits back into the characters they encode, so 01001000 01101001 is "Hi". Each eight-bit group is one byte, and the byte is looked up as a character — 01001000 is 72, which is capital H in ASCII and in UTF-8, since UTF-8 is identical to ASCII for the first 128 characters. That equivalence is why English text converts cleanly in both directions and why anything else needs more care: a character outside ASCII takes two to four bytes in UTF-8, so "é" is 11000011 10101001, two groups for one character. A converter that treats every eight bits as one character gets that wrong and produces two nonsense symbols. The grouping is the other thing to watch. Binary is conventionally written in eight-bit groups separated by spaces, but plenty of sources give it as one unbroken run, and a stream whose length is not a multiple of eight is either truncated or was never eight-bit encoded. This tool accepts both spaced and unspaced input.
