About Base64 Encoder Decoder

Base64 Encoder Decoder converts text and file content into Base64 and back again for common web development and API tasks. It is useful for data URIs, payload inspection, transport-safe embedding, and diagnostics. Encode and decode modes are instant, with output character count helping users understand payload growth. Drag-and-drop file support makes quick binary-to-Base64 conversion possible without external tools. The entire flow remains client-side for privacy and speed.
