What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts text and binary data into ASCII text format.
It's commonly used for:
  • Embedding images in HTML/CSS (data URIs)
  • Encoding email attachments
  • Storing binary data in JSON/XML
  • URL encoding (URL-safe variant)
  • API data transmission

Base64 uses 64 characters:
  • A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, and / (with = for padding).
Our encoder supports both standard and URL-safe Base64:
  • Standard: Uses `+` and `/` characters
  • URL-safe: Uses `-` and `_` instead (no padding)
  • Perfect for URLs and filenames
