Frequently Asked Questions
What is Base64 encoding used for?
Base64 encoding converts binary data into ASCII characters so it can be safely transmitted over text-based protocols like HTTP, email, or JSON. Common uses include embedding images in CSS and transmitting file attachments.
Can I encode files to Base64?
Yes. Drag and drop any file onto the input area, or use the file picker, and the tool will produce the Base64-encoded string for that file.
Does Base64 encoding encrypt my data?
No. Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption. Anyone with the encoded string can decode it back to the original data. Do not use Base64 as a security measure.
