Base64 Converter

Base64 encoding is a method used to encode binary data into a string of ASCII characters. It's commonly used to encode data in contexts where only textual data is allowed, such as transmitting data over email, embedding data in URLs, or storing complex data in a simple string format. Base64 encoding ensures the data remains intact without modification during transport.

This tool allows you to easily encode and decode text using Base64. You can switch between encoding or decoding modes, and it works in real time. The "Encode" mode will convert your plain text into a Base64 string, while the "Decode" mode will convert Base64-encoded data back into readable text.

Base64 is often used in web applications and APIs where data needs to be safely transmitted in text form, such as in query parameters or HTTP headers. This tool is designed to handle text-based conversions only.
