Guide & Explanations

Online Base64 Encoder / Decoder

The Base64 encoder and decoder is an essential tool for developers and web professionals. It lets you convert any text, URL or binary file to a Base64 string, and vice versa — entirely in your browser, with no data ever sent to a server.

Why use Base64?

Base64 encoding is used everywhere in web and software development: embedding images directly in HTML or CSS via Data URIs, transmitting binary data in JSON format, sending email attachments (MIME), storing cryptographic keys or JWT tokens.

Features

  • 3 modes: Plain text, Image (with visual preview), and Binary file (drag & drop)
  • Encode and decode with one click or in real-time (text mode)
  • URL-safe mode: replaces + with - and / with _ for tokens and URLs
  • Padding removal = for compact formats
  • Configurable line wrap (MIME standard: 76 characters)
  • Chunk splitting with custom block size
  • Automatic Data URI prefix for images
  • Statistics: input/output size and transformation ratio
