Guide

Base64 is an encoding format used to represent binary data as text. It is commonly used in data URLs, API payloads, and email attachments.

When to use Base64

  • Embed small assets in HTML/CSS (data URLs).
  • Send binary data through text-only channels.
  • Store simple blobs in JSON for debugging (not for large files).

Important

Base64 is not encryption. Anyone can decode it. Never treat Base64 as a security layer.
