Why Use Base64 Encoding and Decoding?

Base64 encoding is a way to convert data, such as text or binary files, into a format that can be safely transmitted or stored without corruption. It’s commonly used in email attachments, data URLs in web development, and transferring binary files over text-based protocols like HTTP.

When you encode data in Base64, it transforms it into a text format composed of ASCII characters, making it safe for use in URLs, email body content, or HTML. On the other hand, decoding Base64 reverses the process, allowing you to retrieve the original data.

How to Use the Online Base64 Tool

1. Encoding Data:

   • Enter the text or upload a file that you want to encode.

   • Click the "Encode" button.

   • The tool will convert your input into Base64-encoded text, which you can safely use in emails, URLs, or web applications.

2. Decoding Data:

   • Paste the Base64-encoded string into the input box.

   • Click the "Decode" button.

   • The tool will return the original text or file, allowing you to retrieve and use the data in its original form.
