Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.

Base64 Encoding

Base64 encoding converts binary data into a string format that can be safely transmitted over text-based protocols. It uses a set of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, + and /) to represent binary data.

Base64 Decoding

Base64 decoding converts a Base64 encoded string back to its original format. The decoder reads the Base64 string and converts each character back to its binary representation.

Common Uses

Base64 encoding is commonly used in email attachments, embedding images in HTML/CSS, storing binary data in JSON, and transmitting binary data over text-based protocols like HTTP.
