Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for? +
Base64 encoding is primarily used to convert binary data (or text with special characters) into an ASCII string format. Developers use it to safely transmit data across networks (like embedding images in CSS/HTML, sending API keys, or passing data through URLs) without data corruption.
Is Base64 the same as encryption? +
No, Base64 is NOT encryption. It is merely a data translation mechanism. Any encoded Base64 string can be easily decoded by anyone using a decoder like this one. Never use Base64 to hide passwords or highly sensitive security data.
