How to encode and decode Base64
A quick guide to Base64 encoding and decoding text safely in your browser with Toolora.
What Base64 is for
Base64 turns text or binary data into ASCII characters that travel safely through systems that expect plain text. It is useful for data URLs, debugging tokens, and transfer formats.
Encode text
Open Base64 Encode, paste your text, and run the tool. Copy the encoded output. Toolora uses UTF-8 so international characters encode correctly.
Decode text
Open Base64 Decode, paste a Base64 string, and run it. If decoding fails, check for missing padding, truncated input, or characters that are not part of Base64.
Important security note
Base64 is not encryption. Encoded values can be decoded by anyone. Never treat Base64 as a way to protect passwords or secrets.
