What is Base64?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is widely used in email (MIME), URL parameters, and data storage. Our Base64 encoder/decoder tool supports text, image, and file encoding and decoding, helping you quickly process Base64 data.

FAQ
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is an encoding method that converts binary data to ASCII strings using 64 printable characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). It is commonly used to transmit binary data in text environments.
Can Base64 encoding encrypt data?
No, Base64 is not an encryption algorithm. It is simply an encoding method. Encoded data can be easily decoded back to its original form, so it should not be used to protect sensitive information.
