Encode and decode Base64

Base64 turns text or a file into plain letters and numbers so it can travel inside JSON, HTML, CSS or email. This converter handles Urdu and other Unicode text correctly (UTF-8), turns images into data URLs for websites and emails, and turns Base64 back into a downloadable image or file. Everything runs in your browser.

Questions

Is Base64 encryption?

No. Anyone can decode it. It's a way to write data with safe characters, not a way to hide it.

Why is the Base64 bigger than my image?

Base64 is about 33% larger than the original file. Use it for small images like icons and logos; link to normal image files for big photos.
