Encode and decode text or data to and from Base64 format easily with our free online tool.
This utility securely encodes and decodes text or data to and from Base64 format. It is essential for web developers, data transfer, and embedding small images or files directly in HTML/CSS. Key features include encoding text to a Base64 string, decoding a Base64 string back to its original text, handling various character sets (UTF-8, ASCII), and error handling for invalid Base64 input. Potential use cases involve embedding small binary data (like images or fonts) directly into HTML/CSS, transmitting binary data over text-only channels (e.g., email), basic obfuscation of simple strings for casual security, and debugging API calls that utilize Base64 encoding.
