How are images and sound converted to binary?

Answer 1

Each image has a certain number of pixels depending on the size (ex: 5mp camera takes shots that contain 5,000,000 pixels of color). The conversion begins from left to right, top to bottom, similar to reading words on a page. The first pixel is first converted into it's color code (a six digit code that all colors on a chart are organized by), and then that six digit code is converted into a binary string. So if the first pixel is medium gray, the color code is 646464, that code is then converted to binary using the binary numbering system. So 6=110 and 4=100, so the first medium gray pixel is 110100110100110100, then the next pixel is translated in the same manner and the string is continued. So if you had a 5mp medium gray image, the binary string would contain 80 million digits of 1s and 0s. Different color images would create larger strings
