About this tool-
Base64 encoding is a method of converting binary data into a text format that is safe to transfer over communication channels that are designed to handle only ASCII text. It is widely used in a variety of applications, such as email, XML, and JSON, to ensure that data is not corrupted during transmission.
If you need to encode Base64 data, the online tool “Base64 Encode” provides a simple and easy-to-use solution. This tool allows you to quickly and easily encode your data without any hassles, or decode it into a human-readable format.
In case you’re dealing with textual data, you can specify which character set was used during the encoding process, and the decoded data can be converted to our website’s character set so that all letters and symbols can be displayed properly. Additionally, you can decode each line separately, which is useful if you intend to decode multiple independent data entries that are separated by line breaks.
The tool also offers a live mode that uses your browser’s built-in JavaScript functions to decode the data immediately, without sending any information to the servers. This mode supports only the UTF-8 character set.
The Base64 encoding scheme is generic, and there are several variations in the implementation of the encoding. However, the general rule is to choose a set of 64 characters that is both part of a subset common to most encodings and also printable. This combination ensures that the data is unlikely to be modified in transit through systems such as email, which were traditionally not 8-bit clean.
