Base64 Encoder & Decoder Tool

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is commonly used to transfer data over media that are designed to deal with textual data, such as emails and URLs.

Why use Base64 Encoding?

• Data Transmission: Ensure that your data remains intact without modification during transport (e.g., sending binary images via JSON/API).
• Email Attachments: MIME uses Base64 to transmit images and files within emails.
• Data URLs: Embed small images directly into HTML or CSS files using Base64 strings to reduce HTTP requests.

Is Base64 Encryption?

No. Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. It does not secure data; it simply changes its representation. Anyone can decode a Base64 string back to its original format instantly.
