Why use this Base64 Encoder/Decoder
Built for the moment you need to move text or a small file between a binary-unsafe channel (a URL, JSON, an email) and back, without installing anything.
Nothing leaves your browser
Encoding and decoding run entirely client-side in JavaScript. Your text and files are never uploaded to a server.
Image preview built in
Encode an image file and see it rendered live from its own Base64 data URL, so you can confirm it round-trips correctly.
Text and files, one tool
Switch between encoding plain text and encoding an uploaded file without leaving the page.
How it works
Pick Text or File
Choose whether you're encoding/decoding plain text or uploading a file.
Paste or drop your input
Enter text to encode, a Base64 string to decode, or drag a file into the upload zone.
Copy the result
The encoded or decoded output appears instantly — copy it with one click.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file or text uploaded anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser using built-in JavaScript APIs. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored.
What is Base64 actually for?
Base64 turns binary data (like an image) into plain ASCII text, so it can safely travel through systems that only handle text — like embedding an image directly inside CSS, HTML, or JSON.
Why did decoding fail?
The input needs to be a valid Base64 string (only letters, numbers, +, /, and = padding). Extra whitespace, line breaks, or a truncated copy-paste are the most common causes of a decode error.
Is there a file size limit?
No hard limit is enforced, but very large files may be slow to encode depending on your device, since everything runs in-browser rather than on a server.
