Frequently asked questions
What is Base64?
Base64 is a way of writing data using only letters, numbers and a few symbols so it can travel safely through systems built for plain text, such as emails and web addresses.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. It only changes how data is written and anyone can reverse it. Do not use it to protect secrets.
Why does Base64 end with equals signs?
The = characters are padding that fill the last group so the length fits the format.
Why does my decoded text look strange?
The input may not be valid Base64, may be damaged, or may not contain text. Check for missing characters or extra spaces.
Can it handle non-English text?
Yes. Text is converted as UTF-8, so accented and non-English letters are supported.
