Encode & Decode

Base64 Encoder & Decoder — Text to Base64, Instantly

Base64 turns binary data and text into a safe ASCII string used in data URIs, API tokens, config files, and email attachments. This free Base64 encoder converts your text in one click — and decodes Base64 back to readable text just as fast.

Everything happens locally in your browser, so tokens and secrets you paste are never sent anywhere. A one-click copy button moves the result straight to your clipboard.

Encode text to Base64

Paste any text to get its Base64 representation — handy for data URIs, auth headers, and embedding small payloads.

Decode Base64 to text

Paste a Base64 string to reveal the original text, useful when debugging tokens and API responses.

Private by design

Encoding and decoding run entirely on your device. Sensitive strings like tokens stay on your machine — nothing is uploaded or logged.

How to use

  1. Paste your text or Base64 string into the input box.
  2. Click Encode to Base64 or Decode from Base64.
  3. Copy the result with the Copy Result button.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for?

Base64 represents binary or text data as plain ASCII characters, commonly used in data URIs, email attachments, JSON web tokens, and API credentials.

Is Base64 the same as encryption?

No. Base64 is an encoding, not encryption — anyone can decode it. Never treat Base64 as a way to hide secrets.

Can I decode a Base64 string with this tool?

Yes. Switch to the decoder, paste the Base64 string, and the original text appears instantly.

Is my pasted text sent to a server?

No. All encoding and decoding happens locally in your browser.
