Base64 Encoder / Decoder FAQ
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 encoding is a method of converting data into a text format using a specific set of characters, making it safe to transmit over text-based systems.
What is the difference between encoding and decoding?
Encoding converts original data into Base64 format, while decoding converts Base64 data back to its original form.
Why is Base64 used?
Base64 is used to safely transmit binary data (like images or files) over systems that only support text, such as emails or APIs.
Can I encode files as well as text?
Yes, you can encode both plain text and files (like images or documents) into Base64 format and decode them back when needed.
Is my data secure when using this tool?
Yes, your data is processed locally in your browser and is not stored or shared with any server.
