Base64 Encoder

The Base64 Encoder converts text or binary data into Base64-encoded format. This tool takes any input text and transforms it into a Base64 string that can be safely transmitted over text-based protocols and systems.

Base64 encoding is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in a printable ASCII string format. It's designed to carry data across channels that are designed for textual data, ensuring the data remains intact without modification during transport. Each Base64 digit represents exactly 6 bits of data, and the encoding uses a set of 64 characters that are common to most encodings and are highly printable.

Common Uses:

• Encoding binary data for transmission in email (MIME)
• Embedding binary data in XML or JSON documents
• Creating data URIs for embedding images in HTML/CSS
• Storing binary data in text-based storage systems
• Encoding HTTP Basic Authentication credentials
• Transmitting non-ASCII characters in URLs
• Obfuscating data (though not for security purposes)
• Preparing data for cryptographic operations
