ENCODE & DECODE / LOCAL TOOL
Base64 Encoder
Encode and decode UTF-8 text.
HOW IT WORKS
Text and binary-safe notation
UTF-8 bytes are represented with the Base64 alphabet, or decoded back into readable UTF-8 text.
Limits to keep in mind
Base64 is reversible encoding and provides no confidentiality or authenticity.
A PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
Use the result carefully.
01Paste UTF-8 text and run the encoder. Use the result only as an encoding, never as encryption.
02Run the utility and inspect the complete output.
03Use it for transport compatibility, never as a password or data-protection scheme.
COMMON QUESTION
Why does the result end with equals signs?
Padding characters complete the final four-character Base64 block.
