About Base64 Encoder

Clacify's Base64 Encoder converts plain text, binary data, or file contents to Base64-encoded strings and decodes Base64 back to readable text. Base64 is widely used in email attachments (MIME), data URLs in CSS/HTML, storing binary data in JSON APIs, and encoding the payload section of JWTs. Paste your text or Base64 string — the result updates instantly in your browser with no data sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for?

Base64 encodes binary data as ASCII text, making it safe to transmit through systems that only handle text. Common uses: email attachments (MIME encoding), embedding images in CSS/HTML as data URLs, encoding credentials in HTTP Basic Authentication (base64(username:password)), and storing binary data in JSON.

How to decode a Base64 string?

Paste the Base64 string into Clacify's Base64 Encoder in Decode mode. The tool converts it back to the original text or binary representation. Base64 strings typically end with = or == padding characters.
