Base64 Encoder and Decoder

Convert UTF-8 text to Base64 and decode it back in your browser. This is useful for API payloads, data URLs, basic authentication examples and debugging.

Security note: Base64 is an encoding format, not encryption. Do not treat an encoded value as a secret.

UTF-8 support

The interface uses browser text encoders so common international characters can be converted reliably.

Copy or download

Copy the result for a request or download a plain-text file for later use.

Local processing

The core conversion runs in the browser. Review the privacy policy before using any hosted page with sensitive data.

Frequently asked questions

Is Base64 encryption?

No. Anyone who has the encoded value can decode it. Use proper encryption and key management for secrets.

Does it support Chinese, Japanese and emoji?

Yes, the current tool converts UTF-8 text before Base64 encoding.

Can I decode an invalid value?

The browser reports an error when the input is not valid Base64 or cannot be decoded as UTF-8.
