Software Development Agency FAQ

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that converts binary data into ASCII characters. It's commonly used to embed images in CSS/HTML, transmit data in URLs, and encode email attachments.

Standard Base64 uses + and / characters which have special meaning in URLs. URL-safe Base64 replaces these with - and _ so the encoded string can be safely used in URLs and filenames.

Yes. All encoding and decoding happens in your browser using JavaScript's built-in btoa() and atob() functions. No data is transmitted to any server.

This tool is designed for text encoding. For file-to-Base64 conversion (like images), you'd need to read the file as binary data first.
