Common uses

  • Encoding a value for a data URL, an API header, or a config file
  • Preparing binary-safe text for a system that only accepts Base64
  • Encoding non-English text where a naive Base64 implementation would corrupt it

Supported formats and limitations

Accepts text, up to one file at a time.

  • Base64 is an encoding, not encryption — it hides content from a casual glance but provides no actual confidentiality, since it requires no key to reverse.
  • Encoding text (not raw binary files) is what this tool is built for — for encoding an image or other binary file, use a tool built for that specific format.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — encoding goes through proper UTF-8 byte conversion first, so any Unicode text round-trips correctly rather than corrupting.

No — Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. It has no key or secret; anyone can decode it instantly. Don't use it to protect sensitive information.

No. Encoding happens entirely in your browser.

This tool encodes text you paste or type — for encoding a binary file, a format-specific tool is a better fit.
