What This Tool Does

Encode text for transport in systems that only support ASCII-safe payload formats.

Use it to inspect or transform input quickly, then carry validated output into code, tests, or API requests.

Common Use Cases

  • Build Basic Auth test headers.
  • Encode binary-like text for JSON transport.
  • Prepare JWT segments for debugging experiments.

Common Pitfalls

  • Base64 is not encryption.
  • Wrong text encoding can corrupt non-ASCII characters.

FAQ

  • Is Base64 secure?

    No, it is reversible encoding only.

  • Why does output contain =?

    Padding keeps output length aligned to Base64 blocks.

  • Does this tool send data to a backend?

    Most tools process input client-side in your browser unless explicitly noted.
