About Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Base64 is an encoding method that represents binary data using a limited set of text characters. It is commonly seen when data needs to travel through text-based systems.

How to use this tool

Enter text to encode it, or provide Base64 text to decode it. Base64 is an encoding format, not encryption, so it should not be treated as a way to hide confidential information.

Example

The word "Hello" can be represented as "SGVsbG8=" in Base64.
