The base64 encoder works like this: it encodes text to Base64 and decodes it back, with URL-safe alphabet and UTF-8 handling built in. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

Frequently asked questions
Does Base64 encrypt?
No - it is a reversible encoding for transport, readable by anyone. Never treat Base64 as secrecy.
Why does Base64 output contain = padding?
Base64 encodes 3 bytes into 4 characters, so input lengths that are not multiples of three get one or two "=" padding characters at the end - they are part of the encoding, not an error.
What is URL-safe Base64?
A variant replacing + and / with - and _ so the encoded string can sit inside a URL or filename without being mangled - the toggle emits that alphabet.
