Base64 Encoder & Decoder

Base64 is a method of encoding binary data into ASCII characters, making it safe for transmission over text-based protocols like email or URLs. It's commonly used for embedding image data, transmitting files, or storing data in JSON or XML. This tool lets you encode and decode Base64 text instantly, directly in your browser. Quickly encode or decode your text using Base64.

Base64 encoding is a method that converts binary data into a text format, which can be safely transmitted over channels that only support text, such as email systems, JSON payloads, or URLs. It’s widely used to embed images or files directly into HTML, CSS, or XML without needing separate file requests, which can improve loading performance and simplify deployment. Additionally, Base64 encoding helps in safely storing complex data, such as certificates, encryption keys, or multimedia content, in databases or configuration files without corruption. Decoding reverses this process, allowing retrieval of the original data. This tool is essential for developers and IT professionals to verify that data is correctly encoded and decoded, ensuring compatibility and integrity across different systems and applications.
