Base64 Encoder/Decoder: A Quick Guide
What is Base64?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in a printable ASCII character set. It's commonly used to encode binary data, such as images or audio files, into a format that can be transmitted over text-based channels like email or URLs.
How to Use Our Base64 Encoder/Decoder
Our Base64 Encoder/Decoder tool makes it easy to convert between UTF-8 text, Base64 encoded strings, and files. Here's how to use it:
- Input Field: Enter your text, Base64 string, or upload a file.
- Output Options: Choose whether you want the output as plain Base64 text or as a data URI (e.g., data:content/type;base64)
- Output Field: The tool will automatically convert the input to the desired format and display the result.
Encoding from UTF-8 to Base64
To encode UTF-8 text into Base64, simply enter the text in the "UTF-8 Text" field. The tool will convert it to Base64 and display the result in the "Base64 Encoded" field.
Decoding from Base64 to UTF-8
To decode a Base64 string into UTF-8 text, enter the Base64 string in the "Base64 Encoded" field. The tool will convert it to UTF-8 and display the result in the "UTF-8 Text" field.
Encoding a File to Base64
To encode a file into Base64, click the "Upload File" button and select the file you want to encode. The tool will convert the file to Base64 and display the result in the "Base64 Encoded" field.
Output Format Options
You can choose whether you want the output as plain Base64 text or as a data URI. A data URI is a special URL format that embeds the encoded data directly within the URL. This is useful for embedding images or other resources directly in HTML or CSS.Start Encoding and Decoding
Now you can start using our Base64 Encoder/Decoder to easily convert between UTF-8, Base64 strings, and files. Whether you need to encode binary data for transmission, decode Base64 strings, or embed resources directly in your web pages, our tool provides a simple and efficient solution.
