Base64 Encoder / Decoder
Encode or decode Base64 strings easily. Use this tool to convert between readable text and Base64 for safe data transfer or storage.
About Base64
Base64 encoding uses a 64-character alphabet (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) to represent binary data in an ASCII string format. It's widely used for encoding binary data in contexts that require text-only transmission, such as email attachments, data URLs, API tokens, and web development. Base64 is more compact than Base32 but less human-readable due to case sensitivity.
About Base64 Encoder / Decoder
Base64 encoding is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in ASCII format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. This tool allows you to easily encode text or binary data into Base64 format or decode Base64 strings back to their original readable form, making it essential for data transmission and storage in text-based protocols.
Why use a Base64 Encoder / Decoder?
Base64 encoding ensures that data remains intact without modification during transport through systems that are designed to deal with textual data. It's widely used in email attachments, embedding images in HTML/CSS, API authentication tokens, and storing binary data in JSON or XML where only text is allowed.
Who is it for?
Web developers, software engineers, system administrators, and anyone working with APIs, email systems, or data serialization will find this tool invaluable. It's particularly useful for developers working with authentication systems, data URIs, or integrating with services that require Base64-encoded data.
How to use the tool
- Paste or type your text/data into the input field
- Select 'Encode' to convert your text to Base64 format, or 'Decode' to convert Base64 back to readable text
- Click the encode/decode button to process your data
- Copy the result from the output field
- Use the encoded/decoded data in your application or system
