FAQ

What is Base64?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into ASCII text. It's used to embed binary data in text formats like JSON or HTML.

Is Base64 encryption?

No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. It's easily reversible and provides no security.

Why does Base64 output end with =?

The = characters are padding. Base64 encodes 3 bytes into 4 characters; padding is added when the input length isn't a multiple of 3.
