Quickly and easily encode text to Base64 format with our free online tool
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media designed to deal with text.
Our free online Base64 encoder provides a simple, fast, and secure way to convert any text or string to Base64 format. The tool runs entirely in your browser, which means your data never leaves your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Base64 encoding works by dividing the input bytes into groups of 3 bytes (24 bits) and then representing each 24-bit group as four 6-bit Base64 digits. Each 6-bit value is mapped to a specific character in the Base64 alphabet (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '+', and '/'). If the input isn't a multiple of 3 bytes, padding characters ('=') are added to make the output length a multiple of 4.
