Binary Converter

About This Tool

Converts integers between binary and other bases, supporting common representations used in software development and education. The tool accepts a numeric string in a specified input base (2–16), validates the characters, and computes an exact value in the universal internal form. It then renders the same value in the requested output base, producing a deterministic result suitable for code testing and data interpretation. It is designed for developers, testers, educators, and students who need quick cross-checks during algorithm design, debugging, or classroom exercises.

Conceptually, the flow is parse → normalize → re-encode. The parser checks each digit against the input base, converting to an internal integer (with optional support for signed mode or fixed bit width in advanced usage). The encoder then maps the internal value to the target base, ensuring consistent digit sets and no rounding. Large integers are supported by arbitrary-precision logic to avoid overflow artifacts, making it reliable for teaching binary arithmetic or validating cryptographic or compression-related calculations.

Unique value and use cases: fast, accurate base conversions without manual calculation, cross-checks for assignments or code reviews, and a lightweight utility integrated into developer workflows. Core features include multi-base input/output, base validation, error reporting for invalid digits, and optional advanced controls for bit width and signed interpretation in supported modes. The tool helps teams reduce errors in low-level data handling, debug numeral-system logic, and provide a consistent reference during software testing and education.
