Frequently asked questions

What is Base64 encoding actually used for?

It converts binary data into plain ASCII text so it can be safely embedded somewhere that only supports text — email attachments, data URLs in CSS/HTML, API payloads, and config files.

Is Base64 a form of encryption?

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

Can I encode images or files with this tool?

This tool encodes and decodes plain text. To convert an image file to Base64, use the dedicated Image to Base64 tool instead.
