What is Base64 Encoder & Decoder?

A Base64 encoder and decoder is a tool that converts text or binary data into Base64 format and back again. Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding standard commonly used in web development, APIs, authentication headers, email attachments, and data transmission systems. Encoding ensures that binary or special characters can be safely transmitted through text-based formats like JSON, HTML, and HTTP headers. This tool helps you quickly encode plain text into Base64, decode Base64 back into readable text, and test tokens, payloads, or encoded values instantly.

How to Use

1

Paste your text or Base64 string into the input field

2

The tool automatically detects whether you want to encode or decode

3

Click Encode/Decode to run the conversion instantly

4

Copy the output result using the copy button

5

Use the encoded or decoded output in APIs, authentication headers, or applications

Common Use Cases

Encode Text for APIs: Convert text into Base64 for safe transmission in JSON or HTTP headers

Decode Tokens: Decode Base64 tokens to inspect stored data or debug authentication payloads

Email Attachments: Encode binary data for email systems and MIME payloads

Basic Authentication: Encode username:password for HTTP Basic Auth headers

Store Data Safely: Encode configuration strings for environment variables and config files

Debug Encoding Errors: Quickly check whether a value is valid Base64 and decode it
