About Base64 Encoder — Free Online Tool
Base64 Encoder turns text or binary data into Base64, the plain-ASCII form used to carry anything through a channel that only reliably handles text.
Three bytes become four characters from a 64-character alphabet, which is why the output is about a third larger than the input. The important point is what Base64 is not: it is an encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it instantly, so a password or key in Base64 is as exposed as it was in plain text — it is a transport format, not a protection.
Encoding happens in your browser, which matters because people reach for this with credentials and tokens. Nothing you paste is transmitted.
Embedding a small image directly in CSS or HTML, putting binary into a JSON field, building a basic auth header while testing, and moving data through a system that mangles anything non-ASCII.
Also known as: text to base64 · encode string to base64
When to use it
Send binary data or special characters safely across protocols designed for plain text (HTTP, SMTP, URLs).
How it works
Takes 3 8-bit bytes (24 bits) and groups them into 4 6-bit chunks mapped to the Base64 alphabet (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /).
UTF-8 Character Support
Fully supports emojis and international foreign language characters.
