FAQs
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data using a set of 64 characters. It's commonly used to transmit binary data over text-based systems.
Is this tool secure to use?
Yes, our tool processes all data locally in your browser. We don't store or transmit any of your information.
Are there any size limitations for the input?
While there's no strict limit, very large inputs may slow down your browser. For optimal performance, we recommend keeping inputs under 1MB.
Can I use this tool for encoding binary files?
This tool is designed for text-based input. For binary files, you'd need to first convert them to a text representation.
Why is Base64 encoding useful?
Base64 encoding is useful for sending binary data through text-only systems, embedding binary data in XML or JSON, and creating data URIs for web development.
Does this tool work on mobile devices?
Yes, our Base64 encoder/decoder is fully responsive and works on both desktop and mobile devices.
Can I integrate this tool into my own website or application?
We don't currently offer an API for direct integration. However, you can link to our tool from your site for your users' convenience.
How accurate is the encoding/decoding process?
Our tool uses standard Base64 algorithms, ensuring 100% accuracy in encoding and decoding, provided the input is valid.
