Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for?

Base64 encoding is used to safely represent binary or text data as ASCII, for example in emails, data URIs, or APIs.

Can I encode a file into Base64?

This tool encodes text you paste in; encoding binary files would need a file-based encoder.

Is the output safe to use directly in a URL?

Standard Base64 output can contain characters like + and / that aren't URL-safe without extra encoding.
