Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64?

Base64 is a method for encoding binary data into an ASCII string format. It represents binary data in a 64-character set (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /) with = for padding, making it suitable for text-based systems like email or JSON.

When should I use Base64 encoding?

Base64 encoding is useful when you need to transmit binary data over systems that only handle text, such as embedding images in HTML, sending attachments in emails, or passing data in APIs. It ensures compatibility with text-only protocols.

Is Base64 encoding secure?

No, Base64 encoding is not secure. It is not an encryption method but a simple encoding scheme. Anyone can decode Base64 data easily. For secure data transmission, use proper encryption methods like AES or RSA.
