🔱 1's Complement Calculator

Flip every bit of a number under a fixed bit width. Paste a binary or decimal value, choose bit width (8/16/32/64), and get the one's complement with aligned visualization.

Note: The result flips all bits within the selected fixed width.

What is 1's Complement?

1's complement is a method of representing binary numbers by inverting each bit. Unlike two's complement, 1's complement is primarily used for educational purposes and understanding bitwise operations.

Key Features:

  • Bitwise inversionEach bit is flipped (0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 0)
  • Fixed bit widthOperation must be performed within a specified number of bits
  • Educational valueHelps understand binary operations and digital circuit design
