Base64 Encoder & Decoder

What Is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is an encoding method that represents data as text using a defined set of characters. It is commonly used when binary or special-character data needs to be represented in a text-friendly form.

EasyTools365 Base64 Encoder & Decoder lets you encode text to Base64 or decode valid Base64 back into text directly in your browser.

How to Encode Text to Base64

1. Enter or paste the text you want to encode.
2. Click Encode to Base64.
3. Review the converted Base64 value.
4. Click Copy Result if you need to copy it.

How to Decode Base64

1. Paste a valid Base64 string into the input field.
2. Click Decode Base64.
3. Review the decoded text.
4. Copy the result if needed.

Base64 Is Encoding, Not Encryption

Base64 should not be used to protect passwords, private keys or confidential information. It is an encoding format rather than an encryption method, and encoded data can be decoded.

UTF-8 Support

The tool uses browser UTF-8 encoding and decoding functions, so text containing many Unicode characters can be handled more reliably than simple ASCII-only Base64 examples.
