About this tool
What is Base64 Encoder?
Encode supported text as Base64 and decode Base64 back into text for data transport, debugging, API payloads, and developer utilities.
What you can do
- Encode text to Base64
- Decode supported Base64 text
- Copy the transformed output
How to use Base64 Encoder

Examples
Tool facts
- Transformation
- Base64 encode / decode
- Encryption
- No
- Typical use

Limitations
- Base64 is an encoding, not encryption; anyone who receives the value can decode it without a secret key.
FAQ
Base64 Encoder FAQs
Common questions about how Base64 Encoder works and what to expect from the current AiFolder implementation.
?Is Base64 secure encryption?
No. Base64 only represents data in a text-safe alphabet and provides no confidentiality by itself.
?Why does Base64 make text longer?
Base64 represents binary data using a limited character set, which adds encoding overhead compared with the original bytes.
?Can Base64 contain Unicode text?
Unicode text can be Base64-encoded when it is first represented as bytes with a character encoding such as UTF-8.
