Questions people ask
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is only a way to write bytes as plain characters. Anyone can decode it, so never use it to hide passwords or secrets.
Why does decoding say the data is not text?
The Base64 may hold a file such as an image or PDF, whose bytes are not readable text. To turn an image into Base64 use the Image to Base64 tool.
What is URL-safe Base64?
A variant that uses - and _ instead of + and /, and drops the = padding, so it can sit in a URL or filename. JWT tokens use it.
Does it work with Hindi or emoji?
Yes. Text is converted as UTF-8 first, so any language works and decodes back identically.
