Base64 Encoder Decoder

This Base64 encoder decoder tool helps you encode plain text to Base64 and decode Base64 back to text using UTF-8 assumptions.

Tech

Quick answer

Encoding uses UTF-8 text input before Base64 conversion.

What this tells you

  • Encoding uses UTF-8 text input before Base64 conversion.
  • Decoding attempts UTF-8 text reconstruction from Base64 input.
  • Invalid Base64 input returns a clear error state.

How to Use

  1. 1Paste text into the input area.
  2. 2Choose Encode Base64 or Decode Base64.
  3. 3Copy the output result.

How It Works

Formula

Encode: UTF-8 bytes -> Base64 Decode: Base64 -> UTF-8 bytes -> text

The tool converts text using UTF-8 byte encoding and Base64 transforms in the browser, with no server-side processing.

Calculation note: values are processed in the order shown above, using the current input units.
