Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into text format using 64 safe ASCII characters. It's commonly used for transmitting binary data over text-only systems like email and JSON.

Why use Base64?

Base64 encoding is useful for embedding images in HTML/CSS, transmitting binary data via email, storing sensitive data, and ensuring data integrity across different systems and platforms.

Is Base64 encryption?

No, Base64 is encoding, not encryption. It's a reversible transformation but not secure. Anyone can easily decode Base64 strings. For security, combine Base64 with actual encryption algorithms.

Can I encode files?

Yes! Switch to File Mode to upload any file. The tool will convert it to Base64 format, which you can then copy or download as a text file.
