What Is Base64 Encoding?


Base64 is a way of representing binary or text data using only 64 printable ASCII characters. It's commonly used to safely embed data — like images or text — inside formats such as JSON, URLs, or email that expect plain text.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Base64 encoding the same as encryption?
No. Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption — it does not provide any security or confidentiality, and anyone can decode it back to the original text.
