Encoding

Base64 Encode

Convert text into Base64.

Base64 represents arbitrary bytes using 64 printable characters, so binary data can travel through channels that only accept text — email bodies, JSON strings, data URIs. Text is first encoded as UTF-8, then those bytes are encoded, which is why non-ASCII characters survive the round trip. It is an encoding, not encryption: anyone can decode it.

Options
