Base64

Base64 is a method of converting text or files into 64 characters so that the data can be transmitted or stored safely.


What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. The term Base64 originates from a specific MIME content transfer encoding. Each Base64 digit represents exactly 6 bits of data.

How to use this tool
