What is 11111111 in binary?

11111111 in binary equals 255 in decimal. Each digit represents a power of 2: 128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1=255. Enter '11111111' in the tool above to verify instantly.

What is the binary number system?

Binary (base-2) is a number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. All data inside computers is processed in binary. Unlike the decimal system (0-9) we use daily, each place value doubles as you move left.

Can it handle large numbers (64-bit)?

Yes, this tool accurately converts numbers up to 64-bit (max 18,446,744,073,709,551,615). It uses BigInt internally, so it handles values beyond JavaScript's standard 53-bit precision limit.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser. No data is ever transmitted to any server. It works even without an internet connection.

Can it convert decimal fractions?

Currently, only integers are supported. Fractional base conversion (e.g., converting 0.1 to binary) is planned for a future update.

How to Use the Base Converter

Enter a number into any of the four fields (Binary, Octal, Decimal, Hexadecimal) and the other three will update instantly in real-time. No button click required. Click the copy button next to each field to copy the raw value (without separators) to your clipboard — ready to paste directly into your code. Select a "Bit Width" to display the two's complement representation, useful for embedded systems development and computer science studies. Switch "Sign" to "Signed" to work with negative numbers. Click "+ Add Base N" to add a custom base field (2–36). This lets you convert to and from any number base, including base-3, base-5, base-36, and more.

How to Convert Between Number Bases

Binary to Decimal Conversion

Decimal to Binary Conversion

Hexadecimal Conversion

Binary to Decimal: Multiply each digit by its positional power of 2 (from right to left) and sum the results. For example, binary 1101 = 1×8 + 1×4 + 0×2 + 1×1 = 13 in decimal. Decimal to Binary: Repeatedly divide by 2 and read the remainders from bottom to top. For example, 13 ÷ 2 = 6 R1, 6 ÷ 2 = 3 R0, 3 ÷ 2 = 1 R1, 1 ÷ 2 = 0 R1. Reading remainders bottom-up gives 1101 in binary. Hexadecimal Conversion: Hex uses 16 symbols (0–9 and A–F). Converting between binary and hex is straightforward — group binary digits into sets of 4 from the right, then convert each group to a single hex digit. For example, binary 11111111 = 1111 1111 = FF in hex. This 4-bit-to-1-digit correspondence is why hexadecimal is widely used for memory addresses and color codes (#FF0000, etc.) in computing.

What is Two's Complement? Representing Negative Numbers

Two's complement is the most common method computers use to represent negative numbers. In an 8-bit system, -1 is represented as 11111111 and -128 as 10000000. To find the two's complement: invert all bits (0→1, 1→0), then add 1. For example, to represent -5 in 8 bits: start with 5 (00000101), invert to get 11111010, add 1 to get 11111011 — that's -5 in two's complement. The key advantage of two's complement is that addition circuits can handle subtraction automatically. When computing 5 + (-3), simply add 5 (00000101) and the two's complement of -3 (11111101) to get 100000010. Discard the overflow bit to get 00000010 (= 2). Select a bit width (8/16/32/64) in the tool above to see the two's complement representation of any value. Useful for systems programming and computer science coursework.
