How Base64 encoding works

Base64 converts binary or text data into ASCII characters, which makes transport safer across systems that expect plain text.

  1. Enter plain text to encode, or paste Base64 text to decode.
  2. Choose Encode or Decode depending on your workflow.
  3. Review the output and copy it for API payloads, URLs, or headers.

Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it back, so do not treat Base64 as a security layer.
