Base64 Encode/Decode FAQ
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 turns data into an ASCII text representation so it can travel through systems that expect text.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it if they have the encoded text.
Why does Base64 sometimes end with equals signs?
Equals signs are padding characters used so the encoded output length fits Base64 grouping rules.
