Frequently asked questions
How do I convert octal to binary?
Read the number as a base-8 value, then write the same quantity in base 2. This tool does both steps with arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic, so very long numbers stay exact. Example: 52 (octal) = 101010 (binary).
What digits are valid in octal?
Base 8 uses digits 0 through 7. Any other character is rejected with an error message.
Is this octal to binary converter free?
Yes — free, no account needed, and it runs entirely in your browser.
