Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for?

It's commonly used to embed binary data (like small images) inside text formats such as JSON, HTML, CSS, or email, and for encoding data in URLs and API tokens.

Is Base64 encoding a form of encryption?

No. Base64 is a reversible encoding scheme, not encryption — anyone can decode it instantly. Don't use it to protect sensitive data.

Does this work with special characters and emoji?

Yes, the tool handles UTF-8 text including special characters and emoji correctly during encode/decode.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No, all encoding/decoding happens locally in your browser.
