About Base64 Encoding

What is Base64 file encoding?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that converts binary data into a string of ASCII characters. It represents every 3 bytes of binary data as 4 printable characters, making binary content safe to embed in text formats such as HTML, CSS, JSON, and email.

When should I use Base64?

Use Base64 when you need to embed a file directly inside a text document — for example, inlining an image in HTML or CSS, carrying a file inside a JSON API payload, or including an image in an email without a separate attachment. It eliminates the extra file request.

Is it safe to convert files to Base64 online?

Completely safe with this tool — all conversion happens locally in your browser via the Web File API. Files are never uploaded to any server and never leave your device. You can disconnect from the internet and use this tool to verify: it still works.
