Binarify

A simple Python script that converts any file to its binary representation and from its binary representation back to the actual file. I just created it for fun

Requirements

• Python 3.x

Usage

The script can be run from the command line with the following syntax:

python binarify.py {-c, -b} source_file output_file

• Use -c to compile a file to its actual binary format, and -b to get the binary representation of a file in text format.
• source_file is the path to the source file you want to convert.
• output_file is the name of the output file where the result will be saved.

For example, to get the binary representation of a file named example.jpg, you would run:

python binarify.py -b path/to/file/example.jpg binary.txt

And to compile a file from its binary representation to its actual form, you would run:

python binarify.py -c path/to/file/binary.txt image.jpg 

TODO

• allow output file to accept file name or path. For now, it only accepts a file name and it is stored in the same path as the source file
