Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for?
Base64 converts binary data into ASCII text format, making it safe to transmit across text-only protocols such as HTTP headers, email (MIME), and JSON payloads.
Is Base64 an encryption method?
No, Base64 is an encoding format, not encryption. It can be reversed by anyone without a key. For confidential information, use our Text Encryptor (AES-256).
