Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a Base Converter?
Base conversion is essential in computer science. Programmers often need to switch between Binary (machine code), Hexadecimal (memory addresses/colors), and Decimal (human-readable). Base58 and Base62 are crucial for blockchain addresses and URL shortening services.
What is the difference between Base58 and Base64?
Base64 includes alphanumeric characters plus '+' and '/', which can cause issues in URLs. Base58 (used by Bitcoin) removes these symbols and visually ambiguous characters like '0', 'O', 'I', and 'l' to reduce human error when manually transcribing addresses.
Which Base62 standard does this tool use?
This tool uses the standard [0-9][a-z][A-Z] character set for Base62, which is widely used in short link generators and unique ID systems.
Can this tool convert large numbers?
Absolutely. Unlike standard calculators that lose precision with large numbers (scientific notation), our Base Converter uses BigInt to process integers of any length accurately.
