Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using this tool. Base64 Encoder.
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.
Is Base64 a form of encryption?
No. Base64 is an encoding format designed for safe data transmission, not cryptography. Anyone can decode Base64 back into its original form.
Why does Base64 increase data size?
Base64 represents 3 bytes of binary data using 4 ASCII characters, resulting in an approximate 33% increase in data size.
