Base64 Encode

What does Base64 Encode do?

Base64 Encode converts text into Base64, an encoding that represents data using only letters, numbers, + and /. It is used in email, URLs, APIs and configuration files to move data safely as plain text.

How to use Base64 Encode

1. Paste or type your text into the box. The Paste button inserts what you copied, and Sample loads an example.
2. Press Encode.
3. Check the result and press Copy to use it. Reset clears everything.

When is it useful?

• Encode credentials or data for an API header
• Store text safely in a config file
• Prepare data for email or JSON

Example

Hello becomes SGVsbG8=.

Good to know

• Base64 is an encoding, not encryption - anyone can decode it.
• Your text is only used to create the result and is not saved.
