Frequently asked questions

What is Base64 used for?

Base64 encodes binary or text data as ASCII so it can travel safely in URLs, JSON, email, or data URIs that can't carry raw bytes.

Is Base64 encryption?

No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption — anyone can decode it. Never use it to hide passwords or secrets.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Encoding runs entirely in your browser, so your input never leaves your device.
