Base64 Encoder and Decoder
Use the Base64 encoder and decoder to convert text between its readable form and Base64 representation. It is handy for inspecting tokens, preparing small data values, and troubleshooting encoded content.
How to use this tool
- Paste or type text or a Base64 value into the input field.
- Select the encode or decode action that matches the value you entered.
- Check the result and copy it for use in your application or documentation.
Tips
- Base64 is an encoding format, not encryption; anyone with the value can decode it.
- Keep binary payloads and very large data out of a text field when a file or transport-specific tool is more appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 changes representation but does not protect the contents. Do not use it as a security mechanism.
Can Base64 represent Unicode text?
Yes. DevKit handles text as Unicode and converts it to and from Base64 in the browser.
