Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that translates binary data into a sequence of 64 printable characters, making it easy to transmit data over media designed for text (e.g., HTML, XML, URLs).
Is this tool secure for sensitive data?
Yes. All encoding and decoding calculations are performed entirely in your browser using local JavaScript. No text is ever uploaded or transmitted to our servers.
What happens if a Base64 string is invalid during decoding?
The tool will display a clear, helpful error message explaining that the input is not a valid Base64-encoded sequence, preventing app crashes.
What is URL-safe Base64?
URL-safe Base64 replaces characters '+' and '/' with '-' and '_', respectively, and omits padding '=', making it safe to include in web URLs without escaping.
