Base64 Encoder / Decoder (Browser-Only)
Base64 is a text-safe encoding format used when binary data must travel through systems that only accept plain text. Developers use it for API payloads, data URLs, token transport, and quick binary checks. This page gives you an encode and decode workflow that runs entirely in your browser. You can paste text, load a local file, generate Base64 output, then decode back into text or a downloadable file. Because processing stays on-device, you can use it for sensitive development tasks without relying on third-party upload services. It is also useful when you need predictable conversion during debugging, because you can inspect both input and output in one local workspace and avoid hidden server transformations.
Before you start
Upload
Use text input or drop a file. File processing uses browser APIs and runs locally.
Result
Copy Base64 output, download it as text, or decode Base64 into a file.
Local processing
Processing runs in your browser session. Files are not uploaded by default.
Limitations
Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Encoded output should still be treated as readable data.
