Base64 Encoder/Decoder is a free online tool that converts text and images to Base64 format and decodes Base64 strings back to their original form. It supports UTF-8 encoding, data URI generation, and seamless file conversion. This tool is essential for web developers and programmers who need to embed binary data in HTML, CSS, or JSON files.
  1. Select the desired conversion tab: 'Text to Base64', 'Base64 to Text', 'Image to Base64', or 'Base64 to Image'.
  2. For text to Base64 encoding, enter your text in the input field and click 'Encode'. The tool supports UTF-8 and other character sets.
  3. For Base64 to text decoding, paste your Base64 string into the input area and click 'Decode' to see the original text.
  4. For image to Base64 conversion, simply drag and drop an image file or click to upload. The tool will generate a Base64 data URI.
  5. For Base64 to image decoding, paste a valid Base64 image string and click 'Decode' to preview and download the image.
  6. Use the 'Copy' button to quickly get the result to your clipboard.

What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 encoding is a method that converts binary data into a text format using 64 ASCII characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). It ensures data remains intact when transmitted through text-only channels like email or embedded in web pages.

Is Base64 Encoder free to use?

Yes, Base64 Encoder is completely free to use with no registration required. You can encode and decode unlimited text and images without any cost or usage limits.

Is my data safe with Base64 Encoder?

Yes, your data is completely safe. All encoding and decoding operations are performed locally in your browser. No data is sent to our servers, ensuring your information remains private and secure.

Is Base64 the same as encryption?

No, Base64 is an encoding method, not encryption. It is easily reversible and provides no security protection. For securing sensitive data, use proper encryption algorithms like AES instead.

How to convert image to Base64?

Converting images to Base64 is simple. Select the 'Image to Base64' tab, upload your image by dragging and dropping or clicking to browse. The tool automatically generates a Base64 data URI for use in HTML or CSS.

Why is my Base64 string not decoding?

Base64 decoding fails when the string contains invalid characters. Valid Base64 strings only include A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, / characters with optional = padding at the end. Check for extra spaces or corrupted data.

What is a Base64 data URI?

A Base64 data URI is a scheme for embedding files directly in web pages. It starts with 'data:[MIME_type];base64,' followed by the encoded data, allowing images and other files to be included inline without separate HTTP requests.
