Base64 Encoder/Decoder

About Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used to encode binary data for storage or transfer in environments that only support text content, such as email attachments, XML, or JSON.

How to Use Base64 Encoder/Decoder?

1. Choose between Encode and Decode tabs.
2. Enter your text or Base64 in the input area.
3. The result will appear automatically in the output area.
4. Use the Copy button to copy the result to your clipboard.
5. To encode or decode a file:
• Click the "Upload" button or use the file input.
• Select a file from your device (max 5MB, PNG/JPEG/TXT).
• The file will be processed and the result displayed in the input/output areas.
6. Use the Reset button to clear all inputs and outputs.

Key Features

• Real-time encoding and decoding of text input.
• File upload support for encoding and decoding.
• Automatic detection of Base64 content in uploaded files.
• Copy to clipboard functionality.
• Reset feature to clear all inputs and outputs.
• Responsive design for use on various devices.
• File size and type restrictions for security.

Tips and Tricks

• Ensure your input is valid UTF-8 text when encoding to avoid errors.
• When decoding, make sure your input is valid Base64 (it should only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, and =).
• Use the file upload feature to quickly encode images or text files.
• The tool automatically switches to the appropriate tab (Encode/Decode) when you upload a file.
• For large text inputs, consider breaking them into smaller chunks to improve performance.
• Remember that Base64 encoding increases the data size by approximately 33%, so encoded strings will be longer than the original text.
• Use Base64 encoding for binary data or when you need to transmit data that may contain special characters that could be misinterpreted by text-based systems.
