Detailed Overview
The Base64 Encoder and Decoder converts text strings into Base64 and decodes Base64 strings back into UTF-8 text, with a URL-safe mode for values that will travel inside links and automatic detection of the input format. It is handy for preparing data for APIs, embedding small pieces of text in URLs, and decoding encoded values you receive from other systems.
To use it, paste your text, choose encode or decode, and copy the result. For URLs, use the URL-safe mode so the output avoids characters that would need further escaping. When decoding, check that the output reads as expected, because a truncated or mistyped Base64 string can decode into garbled text without an obvious error.
Watch out for character encoding with non-English text. Base64 works on bytes, so make sure the text is treated as UTF-8 on both ends, or characters outside basic English may come back changed. If a decoded value looks wrong, compare it against the original and check for missing padding characters at the end of the string.
One honest limitation: Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode a Base64 value just as easily as you encoded it, so never use it to hide passwords, tokens, private messages or any other sensitive data.
