Free Bitwise Calculator
Calculate bitwise operations (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, shifts) with visual binary representation. Perfect for understanding flags, permissions, and low-level programming.
Supported Operations
- AND (&): Returns 1 only if both bits are 1
- OR (|): Returns 1 if either bit is 1
- XOR (^): Returns 1 if bits are different
- NOT (~): Flips all bits
- Left Shift (<<): Shift bits left (multiply by 2)
- Right Shift (>>): Shift bits right (divide by 2)
Common Use Cases
- Unix file permissions (read=4, write=2, execute=1)
- Feature flags and toggles
- Network subnet masks
- Color manipulation (RGB)
- Embedded systems programming
