Encode text or files to Base64 and decode Base64 strings back to their original form. Follows the RFC 4648 standard encoding scheme. Commonly used for embedding small images in HTML/CSS, transmitting binary data in JSON, and encoding email attachments in MIME format.
â Frequently Asked Questions
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that converts binary data into a string of 64 ASCII characters. It increases data size by about 33% and is commonly used to safely transmit binary data over text-based channels.
No, Base64 is encoding, not encryption. It is easily reversible and provides zero security. Use it for data format conversion only; for security, use proper encryption like AES.
