Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Description & Example

Base64 is a method for encoding binary data into an ASCII string format. This encoding is useful for transmitting data over media that are designed to deal with text. It is commonly used for email attachments, embedding image data in HTML or CSS, and in many other web applications.

This tool allows you to either encode plain text into Base64 or decode a Base64 string back into its original text. When you encode text, the tool converts each character into its Base64 representation. When you decode, it reverses the process to restore the original text.

For example, if you enter the text Hello, world! and choose to encode it, the output will be:

Conversely, if you input the Base64 string SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ== and choose to decode it, the tool will return:

This tool is designed to help you quickly convert text for use in web development, debugging data transmissions, or simply for learning how Base64 encoding works.
