Base64 Encoder & Decoder

What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is a method for encoding binary data into text using only readable characters. It is commonly used in email attachments, data storage, and transferring images or files as text over systems that handle only textual data.

While Base64 makes data transferable in text form, it increases the data size by about 33%. It should not be used for encryption, as it does not provide security — only encoding.
