Binary to Gray Code Converter Tool
About This Tool
This online Binary to Gray Code converter transforms standard binary numbers into their corresponding Gray code representation using efficient bitwise operations. Gray code ensures that only one bit changes between successive values, reducing transition errors in digital systems and hardware encoders.
The computation is fully client-side, meaning your data never leaves your device. This makes the tool suitable for educational, research, embedded systems development, and secure environments.

Fun Fact
Gray code is often used in rotary encoders because it prevents ambiguous intermediate states. Since only one bit changes at a time, it reduces the risk of misreading positions during mechanical transitions.
Historical Context
Gray code was popularized by Frank Gray in 1947 while working at Bell Labs. Originally used in pulse code communication systems, it later became fundamental in digital electronics and error-resistant state encoding techniques.
