# From Binary

Converts a binary string back into its raw form. For example, `01001000 01101001` becomes `Hi`. From Binary lives in the **Data format** category of the `fx` menu.

## Parameters

| Parameter   | Type   | Required | Default | Description                                                                          |
| ----------- | ------ | -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Input       | string | yes      | —       | Value to transform. Previous step output or a literal.                               |
