Base64 Encoder and Decoder Tool

This tool allows you to easily convert your data to and from Base64 format. You can either upload files or input text directly to encode or decode.

Base64 encoding is useful when you need to transmit binary data over channels that only support text content. It's commonly used in email attachments, data URIs, and API communications.

? Frequently Asked Questions

1 What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.

2 Why use Base64 encoding?

Base64 is commonly used when you need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with text.

3 What types of files can I encode?

You can encode any type of file or text. Common uses include encoding images, PDFs, or text content.

4 Is Base64 encoding secure?

Base64 is not an encryption method - it's an encoding scheme. It doesn't provide any security, it just transforms data into a different format.
