🚀 What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data as ASCII text. It's commonly used in email systems, data URLs, and web APIs to transmit binary data over text-based protocols.
📝 Common Use Cases
- • Email attachments (MIME)
- • Data URLs for images
- • API authentication tokens
- • JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
- • Configuration files
✨ Features
- • Standard Base64 encoding/decoding
- • URL-safe Base64 variant
- • Real-time statistics
- • One-click copy/paste
- • Swap input/output easily
💡 Pro Tips
- • Use URL-Safe encoding for URLs and file names
- • Base64 increases data size by approximately 33%
- • Click Swap to quickly reverse input/output
- • Use Ctrl+Enter to quickly encode text
