What is Base64?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data — or any text — into a string of 64 printable ASCII characters. It is commonly used to embed binary data (images, fonts, certificates) inside text formats like HTML, CSS, JSON, and XML, or to safely transmit data over channels that only support ASCII.

Base64 vs encryption

Base64 is not encryption. It is an encoding, meaning any Base64 string can be decoded without a key. Never use Base64 to hide sensitive data — use proper encryption algorithms instead.
