Base64 Encoder and Decoder
Encode text to Base64 and decode Base64 back to plain text, instantly and in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so your data stays with you.
What this tool does
Base64 is a way of representing binary or text data using only 64 safe, printable characters: the letters A to Z and a to z, the digits 0 to 9, plus the symbols + and /. This tool converts your text into Base64 and turns Base64 strings back into readable text. Both directions run entirely in your browser, which means the content you paste, including anything private, never travels across the network.
How to use it
To encode, paste your text into the input and read the Base64 result. To decode, paste a Base64 string and get the original text back. Copy the output with one click when you are done. The tool handles everyday text smoothly and is perfect for quick conversions during development or debugging.

- Copy results instantly
- Runs locally, nothing is uploaded
Why it matters
Base64 exists because some systems only handle plain text reliably. Encoding data this way lets you move it safely through channels that were not built for raw binary. Common uses include data URIs that embed small images or fonts directly inside HTML and CSS, packing binary content into JSON or XML payloads, and carrying credentials or tokens in HTTP headers. It is worth remembering that Base64 is encoding, not encryption. It hides nothing and anyone can decode it, so it is about safe transport and embedding rather than security. Doing it in your browser keeps the process fast and private. This free tool comes from Digzy Technology, a software studio in Bali, Indonesia that builds websites, stores and apps.
