Binary to Morse Code Converter

Q: What does 01001000 01101001 mean in Morse code?

01001000 is ASCII binary for the letter H (decimal 72), and 01101001 is ASCII binary for the letter i (decimal 105). Together they spell 'Hi'. In Morse code, Hi is .... .. (four dots for H, two dots for i).

Q: Can I go the other direction — Morse code to binary?

Yes. Paste Morse code (dots and dashes, with / between words) into the right-hand box and it will decode to text on the left. Then use the Binary Translator to convert that text to binary. Or use the swap button on the Morse Code Translator page directly.

Paste any binary code on the left — this tool decodes it to text first, then immediately converts that text to Morse code (dots and dashes) on the right. Play the Morse audio with one click.

How it works

Binary to Morse code in two steps.

Binary and Morse code are completely different encoding systems — there's no direct single-step mapping between them. The only path is through the text (letters) they both represent.

Step 1

Binary → Text (ASCII decode)

Each group of 8 binary digits (one byte) maps to an ASCII character via its decimal value. 01001000 = decimal 72 = letter H. 01101001 = decimal 105 = letter i. The text result of step 1 is shown in amber in the panel above.

Step 2

Text → Morse code (encode)

Each letter of the decoded text is looked up in the International Morse code table and replaced with its dot-dash pattern. H = .... , i = ... Letters are separated by spaces; words by a forward slash.

Result

Binary: Hi = Morse: .... ..

The full journey: 01001000 01101001 → Hi → .... ... Hit play to hear the Morse audio at any speed.

How do I convert binary to Morse code?

Converting binary to Morse code takes two steps: first decode the binary into readable text (using ASCII, where each 8-bit group maps to one character), then encode that text into Morse code (dots and dashes). This tool does both steps automatically — paste binary on the left and Morse code appears on the right immediately.

Is binary the same as Morse code?

No — binary and Morse code are two completely different encoding systems. Binary uses 0s and 1s to represent data in digital memory. Morse code uses dots (·) and dashes (—) to represent letters as audio or light signals. They overlap only in the sense that both can encode the same letters of the alphabet.

What does 01001000 01101001 mean in Morse code?

01001000 is ASCII binary for the letter H (decimal 72), and 01101001 is ASCII binary for the letter i (decimal 105). Together they spell "Hi". In Morse code, Hi is .... .. (four dots for H, two dots for i).

Can I go the other direction — Morse code to binary?

Yes — hit the ⇄ swap button. Type or paste Morse code (dots and dashes, with a / between words) into the right box and the binary will appear on the left. You can also use the full Morse Code Translator and then copy the decoded text into the Binary Translator for the full Morse-to-binary route.

What is a binary Morse code translator?

A binary Morse code translator is a tool that converts between binary code and Morse code in one step, automatically handling the intermediate text step. This page is a binary Morse code translator — paste binary in, get Morse code out, with audio playback included.
