Text to Base64
Convert text to Base64 encoding easily with our Text to Base64 tool.
Text to Base64
The Text to Base64 tool encodes plain text into Base64 format, a compact and safe way to transmit data over networks. Base64 encoding ensures the text remains intact during transmission, even in systems that only handle ASCII characters.
Scenario 1: A developer encodes sensitive information (like API keys) in Base64 to safely include it in configuration files.
Scenario 2: A teacher demonstrates how encoding works by converting student names into Base64 and decoding them later.
1. What is Base64 encoding?
It’s a way to represent binary data as text using 64 characters.
2. Why should I use Base64 encoding?
It ensures data integrity during transmission over systems that only handle text.
3. Is Base64 secure for sensitive information?
No, Base64 is for encoding, not encryption; it doesn’t provide security.
4. Can I decode Base64 back to the original text?
Yes, Base64 decoding reverses the process to retrieve the original text. We have tool for that as well.
5. Does Base64 increase the data size?
Yes, it increases the data size by approximately 33%.
