FAQ
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data as an ASCII string. It's commonly used to embed images in CSS, transmit data in URLs, and encode email attachments.
Can I encode binary files?
This tool encodes and decodes UTF-8 text. For binary files, you would need to read the file as bytes first — this text-based tool handles string content.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All encoding and decoding happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
