Base64 Encoder / Decoder FAQ
Common questions and answers regarding the Base64 Encoder / Decoder tool functionality.
- Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format. It is widely used to embed images in stylesheets, send credentials in HTTP headers, or transfer binary data in XML/JSON.
- Since the encoding process runs inside your browser memory, it is optimized for small files (like images, SVGs, or config files up to a few megabytes) to prevent page lag.
- No. All encoding and decoding logic runs locally on your computer. Your files and strings never leave your device.
- No, Base64 actually increases file sizes by approximately 33% because it translates 3 bytes of binary data into 4 ASCII text characters.
- The '=' symbol is padding used to complete the encoding blocks. Base64 strings require a length multiple of 4, and equal signs fill any trailing spaces.
