Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for? +

Base64 encoding is used to convert binary data or text into a plain ASCII string format. It is commonly used for embedding images in CSS/HTML, transmitting data over email, or storing complex data in XML/JSON.

What is URL-Safe Base64? +

Standard Base64 uses +, /, and = characters, which can cause issues in URLs. URL-Safe Base64 replaces + with - and / with _, making it safe to use in web addresses and filenames.

Is it safe to encode sensitive data here? +

Yes, absolutely! This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data is never sent to our servers or any third party, making it 100% secure for encoding passwords, API keys, or private documents.

Why is the encoded output larger than the original? +

Base64 encoding increases the data size by approximately 33%. This is because it uses 6 bits to represent each character instead of 8 bits, requiring more characters to represent the same amount of data.
