Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64?

An encoding scheme that converts binary or text data into ASCII characters. Commonly used to embed images in HTML/CSS or send data through text-only systems.

When do I need Base64 encoding?

When embedding images in HTML as data URIs, sending binary data in JSON APIs, or storing binary in text-based formats like XML.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser — your data is never sent to any server.

Is Base64 the same as encryption?

No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. It's easily reversible and provides zero security.
