Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Encode plain text string to Base64 format or decode Base64 strings.

How to Use Base64 Encoder/Decoder

  1. Type or paste plain text into the "Encode" box to instantly see its Base64 output, or paste a Base64 string into the "Decode" box to reverse it.
  2. The conversion updates live as you type - no button click needed.
  3. Click the copy icon next to either box to grab the result.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Encoding small image files or SVGs into raw Base64 strings to embed directly into CSS files.
  • Decoding hidden Base64 payloads inside URLs or authentication headers to read their values.
  • Translating binary file buffers into safe ASCII text strings for JSON transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I paste invalid Base64 into the decode box?

You'll see a clear error instead of garbled output, since invalid Base64 can't be decoded to valid text.

Does it support Unicode/emoji in the text I encode?

Yes - UTF-8 text including emoji and non-Latin scripts is encoded/decoded correctly.

Can I encode an entire file, not just text?

This tool is built for text strings; for encoding binary files use a dedicated file-to-Base64 tool instead.
