What this tool does

Convert ordinary Unicode text to standard Base64 or recover UTF-8 text from an encoded value. The encoder handles non-ASCII characters and emoji rather than assuming that every character fits in a single byte. Decoding checks the input format and rejects binary data that is not valid UTF-8. Base64 is an encoding format and does not encrypt or protect secrets.

How to use it

Choose encode or decode. Paste text or standard padded Base64, run the conversion and copy the result.

Example

Hello

Encoding this example produces SGVsbG8=.

Can this tool decode arbitrary binary files?

No. It is a text converter. Decoded bytes must form valid UTF-8 text; file and binary conversion are outside its scope.

Where is my text processed?

The bundled tool code processes text in your browser. It does not send or save your input. Extensions and other site plugins may have separate behavior.
