To Binary

Displays the input data as a binary string. For example, Hi becomes 01001000 01101001. To Binary lives in the Data format category of the fx menu.

Parameters

Limitations

• This operation treats Input as raw bytes (binary-capable). Non-text payloads may display differently after decoding.
• Invalid or mismatched encoding for the chosen options typically raises an evaluation error — fix the Input or options before re-running.
