Bit Shift Calculator
Visualize bitwise shift operations. See how bits move left or right and understand binary manipulation.

How it works
<< Left Shift
Shifts bits to the left. New bits on the right are filled with 0. Each shift left effectively multiplies the number by 2.
>> Signed Right Shift
Shifts bits to the right. The leftmost bit (sign bit) is copied to fill the new empty spaces, preserving the sign of the number.
>>> Zero-fill Right Shift
Shifts bits to the right. New bits on the left are always filled with 0s. This results in a 32-bit unsigned integer.
How It Works
The Bit Shift Calculator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Unlike other tools that send your data to a server, we process everything locally on your device. This guarantees 100% privacy and blazing fast speed.
- No server interaction – data never leaves your device
- Instant results since there is no network latency
- Works offline once the page is loaded
- Free to use with no usage limits
