About this tool
Base64 represents binary bytes using printable characters; this tool converts text through UTF-8. Base64URL replaces + and / with - and _ for URL-friendly values. Encoding is reversible and provides no secrecy, so a Base64 value should never be treated as an encrypted secret.
How to use it
- Choose encode or decode and standard Base64 or Base64URL.
- Paste text to encode, or an encoded UTF-8 value to decode.
- Run the conversion and inspect any malformed-input error.
Example
Hello encodes to SGVsbG8=. The Chinese text 你好 encodes to 5L2g5aW9.
