Encode text to BASE64 or decode BASE64 to text with this simple online tool.
BASE64 is an encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used to encode binary data, such as images or files, into text that can be safely transmitted over text-based protocols like email or HTTP. BASE64 uses a set of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) to represent data, with '=' used for padding.
BASE64 encoding is widely used in various applications, including email attachments (MIME), storing complex data in JSON, embedding images directly in HTML/CSS, and encoding binary data in URLs. It's also commonly used in authentication systems and for transmitting data that might otherwise be altered during transfer.
