Convert text to Base64 encoding or decode Base64 back to text. Base64 is commonly used for encoding binary data in text-based protocols.

About Base64

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It’s commonly used when there’s a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media designed to deal with text.

Common uses include:

• Encoding images for embedding in HTML or CSS
• Sending binary data over text-based protocols like email
• Storing complex data in JSON or XML
• Basic obfuscation of sensitive data (not secure encryption)
