Encode and decode text, images, and binary files into Base64 and Data URIs. UTF-8 Unicode compliant, high-performance chunked buffers, and 100% private in your browser.
Base64 is a fundamental internet encoding technique across modern web engineering:
Embed small PNG or SVG icons directly into your CSS or HTML to prevent extra network round trips.
Send binary file uploads (receipts, avatars, signatures) safely inside standard JSON request bodies.
Generate the standard Authorization: Basic <base64> string for API authorization.
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that translates raw binary bytes into a sequence of 64 ASCII printable characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, and /). It is widely used to embed images directly inside HTML/CSS without additional HTTP requests and safely transmit binary attachments in email (MIME) and JSON APIs.
Base64 uses 4 ASCII characters (4 bytes = 32 bits) to represent every 3 bytes (24 bits) of raw binary data. This creates a predictable mathematical storage expansion of exactly 33.3%, which is offset by eliminating additional round-trip HTTP requests when embedding small assets.
Standard browser btoa() throws an 'InvalidCharacterError' when encountering characters outside the Latin1 range (0-255). Our algorithm feeds strings through a modern TextEncoder UTF-8 pipeline before base64 transcoding, flawlessly supporting Bengali, Chinese, Cyrillic, and emojis.
Yes. Traditional JavaScript implementations use String.fromCharCode.apply() which crashes with 'Maximum call stack size exceeded' on files over 500 KB. We utilize a chunked 32KB sliding window buffer over the ArrayBuffer, allowing seamless encoding of multi-megabyte graphics.
100% private. All bitwise operations and file reconstruction run locally in your browser sandbox. No file or text payload is ever sent to any remote server or stored on any database.
