Tentang Base64 Encoder / Decoder
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data using a set of 64 printable ASCII characters. It was designed to allow binary data to be transmitted over channels that only reliably support text content. Base64 encoding is widely used in email attachments (MIME), embedding images directly in HTML and CSS as data URIs, storing complex data in JSON or XML, and encoding credentials in HTTP Basic Authentication headers. Each group of three bytes of binary data is encoded as four Base64 characters, making the output roughly 33% larger than the original. This tool supports full UTF-8 input, so you can encode any text including emoji and international characters without any issues. Decoding is equally straightforward — paste a Base64 string to immediately reveal the original content. Because all processing happens locally in your browser, your data never leaves your device, making it safe to use with sensitive information.

Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
What is Base64 used for?
Base64 is used to encode binary data as text so it can be safely transmitted over text-only channels such as email, JSON APIs, and HTML attributes. Common uses include embedding images as data URIs, HTTP Basic Auth, and JWT tokens.
Does Base64 encrypt my data?
No. Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption. Anyone with the encoded string can decode it trivially. Do not use Base64 to protect sensitive information — use proper encryption instead.
Why does the output end with "=" characters?
Padding characters (=) are added to make the total encoded length a multiple of 4. They appear when the input length is not divisible by 3.
Can this tool handle Unicode and emoji?
Yes. The encoder first applies UTF-8 encoding before Base64, so all Unicode characters including emoji and international scripts are handled correctly.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All encoding and decoding happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever uploaded to any server.
