Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Our Base64 Encoder/Decoder helps you convert text to Base64 encoding and decode Base64 data back to regular text. Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used for sending email attachments, embedding image data in CSS or HTML, and transmitting data that may contain special characters that could be misinterpreted by text-based protocols.

About Base64 Encoding:

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It uses a set of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) to represent data. This encoding is useful when you need to transmit binary data over media that only reliably support text content.

Common Uses of Base64:

  • Encoding email attachments (MIME)
  • Embedding image data in CSS or HTML
  • Storing complex data in XML or JSON
  • Transferring data in URLs
  • Storing binary data in databases that only support text
  • Basic authentication headers in web requests

Note: Base64 encoding increases data size by approximately 33% compared to the original binary data.
