Base64 Formatter
Encode and decode Base64 data with file support and multiple encoding modes
Base64 Encoding Tips
- Base64 encoding increases data size by approximately 33%. Use it for embedding, not compression.
- Use URL-safe mode when embedding Base64 in URLs to replace +/= with -/_ characters.
- Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Never use it to protect sensitive data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Base64 Formatter formatting answered
Yes, our Base64 formatter is completely free with no registration required. All processing happens in your browser.
URL-safe Base64 replaces + with - and / with _ and removes = padding. Use it when embedding Base64 in URLs or filenames.
Yes, you can upload any file to encode it to Base64. The output can be used as data URIs for embedding in HTML or CSS.
No. Base64 is encoding, which is reversible and provides no security. Never use Base64 to protect sensitive data — use proper encryption instead.
Standard Base64 uses A-Z, a-z, 0-9, + and /. URL-safe variant replaces + with - and / with _. Padding uses = characters.
