XOR Calculator - Binary XOR Operation Calculator

Our free XOR calculator allows you to perform XOR (exclusive OR) operations on binary numbers instantly. Perfect for computer science students, programmers working with bitwise operations, and anyone learning binary arithmetic.

What is XOR?

XOR (exclusive OR) is a logical operation that returns true (1) only when the inputs differ. In binary:

0 XOR 0 = 0
0 XOR 1 = 1
1 XOR 0 = 1
1 XOR 1 = 0

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the XOR calculator free to use?

Yes, our calculator is completely free to use with no registration or usage limits.

What format should I use for input?

Enter binary numbers using only 0s and 1s (e.g., 1010, 1100).

Can I perform XOR on decimal numbers?

The tool accepts binary input but displays decimal equivalents for reference. For decimal XOR, convert to binary first.
