Frequently Asked Questions
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode Base64 — do not use it to protect secrets.
Does this support Unicode text?
Yes. Text is encoded using UTF-8 before Base64 conversion, so emojis and non-Latin scripts are supported.
Is this tool free?
Yes. This tool is completely free to use with no sign-up, no limits, and no hidden fees.
Does my data leave my browser?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data is never sent to a server or stored anywhere.
