Base64 Encoder and Decoder

How to use

  1. Choose encode or decode.
  2. Paste your text.
  3. Copy the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is Base64 encryption?

No, it is only an encoding and is trivially reversible. It does not protect secrets.

Why does it end with =?

Padding so the output length is a multiple of four characters.

Will special characters break?

Text is encoded as UTF-8, so accented and non-Latin characters convert correctly.
