Encode text to Base64 without sending it anywhere.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves this device and is never sent to our servers.

Uses - and _ instead of + and /

Base64

Base64 represents binary data using 64 printable characters, so it survives transports that only accept text — HTTP headers, JSON payloads, data URIs, email bodies. It is an encoding, not encryption: anyone can decode it, so never use it to protect a secret.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste the text you want to encode.
  2. Tick “URL-safe” if the result will be used in a URL or filename.
  3. Copy the encoded output.

Frequently asked questions

Is Base64 encryption?
No. It is a reversible encoding with no key. Anyone who has the string can decode it in seconds. Use it for transport, never for confidentiality.
What does URL-safe mean?
The standard alphabet includes + and /, which have meaning inside a URL. The URL-safe variant substitutes - and _ and drops the trailing = padding.
Why is the output longer than the input?
Base64 encodes three bytes as four characters, so output is about 33% larger than the input.
