Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Common questions and specifications regarding correct operation of the free Base64 Encoder / Decoder utility.

Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format.
It is used to send binary data (like images or complex strings) over text-only protocols like HTML, XML, or email attachments without losing data.
No. Base64 is simply a format, not encryption. It can be easily decoded by anyone.
It uses 64 characters: uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and the symbols `+` and `/`.
The equals sign (`=`) is used for padding at the end of a Base64 string to make sure the data is properly aligned.
Yes! This generator includes full Unicode support to cleanly handle emojis and special characters.
For best performance in the browser, keep text inputs under 10MB.
Yes. All encoding and decoding are performed locally in your browser, so your sensitive strings are never uploaded to a server.
