Base64 text
Encode and decode text, including Unicode.
About Base64 text
Convert text to a Base64 representation or read a Base64 value back as text. Text is encoded as UTF-8 bytes, so non-ASCII characters do not need to be removed first.
Steps, example, and limitations
How to use it
- Select encode or decode.
- Paste the text or Base64 input and run the conversion.
- Copy the result, or fix the reported input error.
Example
Input
Hello
Result
SGVsbG8=
Things to know
- Base64 is a reversible encoding, not encryption.
- Binary files are not necessarily valid UTF-8 text. Use a file-specific viewer rather than treating every Base64 string as text.
