About the Base64 Encoder
The Base64 Encoder correctly converts Unicode text to UTF-8 bytes before encoding, avoiding the common browser error with non-Latin characters. Base64 is an encoding for transport, not encryption.
How to use the Base64 Encoder
- Enter the source text.
- Encode it as Base64.
- Copy the ASCII result into the intended data field.
Practical tips
- Do not use Base64 to protect secrets; anyone can decode it.
- Encoded output is normally larger than the original bytes.
