What is Base64 used for?

Base64 encodes binary or text data into an ASCII string, commonly used for embedding data in URLs, emails, and JSON payloads.

Is Base64 encryption?

No. Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption — it does not protect data confidentiality, it only changes the format.

This usually means the input isn't valid Base64 — check for missing characters or extra spaces.

Encode text to Base64 or decode Base64 back to text.
