Privacy & Performance
All encoding and decoding happens locally in your browser. No data is transmitted to servers or stored online. Base64 is not encryption - it's encoding for data representation.
File Size Limits: Maximum file size is 100MB to ensure optimal browser performance. Files larger than 10MB may take longer to process.

Professional Base64 Encoding FAQ
Expert answers to common questions about Base64 encoding, decoding, and professional applications
What is Base64 encoding and why is it used?
Base64 encoding is a method to convert binary data into text format using 64 ASCII characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). It's essential for data transmission through text-based protocols, email attachments, embedding images in HTML/CSS, API authentication, and storing binary data in databases or configuration files.
What types of data can I encode with Base64?
You can encode any type of data including text, JSON objects, URLs, images (as data URIs), binary files, configuration data, and authentication tokens. Our tool supports standard Base64 and URL-safe Base64 encoding for web applications.
What's the difference between standard and URL-safe Base64?
Standard Base64 uses +, /, and = characters which can cause issues in URLs. URL-safe Base64 replaces + with -, / with _, and removes padding (=) to make it safe for use in URLs, query parameters, and file names.
Is Base64 encoding secure for sensitive data?
Base64 is encoding, not encryption - it doesn't provide security. Anyone can decode Base64 data, so never use it for sensitive information like passwords. It's designed for data transport and compatibility, not security. Use proper encryption for sensitive data.
How do I create data URIs for images?
A data URI has the format: data:image/png;base64,[encoded-data]. First, encode your image file to Base64, then prepend the appropriate MIME type. Our tool can help create properly formatted data URIs for embedding images directly in HTML or CSS.
