Encode any Text, File or Image to Base64 format

Base64 is a method of representing binary data as an ASCII string. This encoding scheme converts binary data into an ASCII format by utilizing only 64 specific characters. The process works by breaking the binary data into 6-bit segments, with each segment corresponding to one of the 64 characters. Since a byte consists of 8 bits, every 3 bytes of binary data are translated into 4 Base64 characters. If the total number of bytes isn't divisible by 3, padding (typically with the = character) is added at the end to complete the encoding.

Base64 encoding is specifically designed to transmit data stored in binary format across various platforms, such as the web, email, and other communication channels where binary data might not be safely transferred. It works by taking any type of binary data, whether it's text, images, or files, and converting it into a long string of plain ASCII text. This transformation ensures that the data can be easily transported over systems that are designed to handle text-based formats, without risking corruption or misinterpretation due to differences in encoding or data format handling across different systems.

Below you can encode your Text, File, or Image data to Base64. You can either upload your file or may paste any content for conversion.
