Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this tool.

Does the tool handle binary files or only text?

Text only. For encoding binary files, use a file upload tool. This Base64 encoder works on UTF-8 text strings up to 10 MB.

Can I decode Base64 encoded images inline?

Yes. The decoded output shows as text. If the decoded result is an image (data:image/...), a preview appears above the raw output.

What happens if I try to decode invalid Base64?

The tool shows an error message identifying the position of the invalid character. Common causes: wrong padding, extra whitespace, or incorrect alphabet.

Does the tool support URL-safe Base64 encoding?

Yes. Toggle "URL Safe" to use - and _ instead of + and /. Both encoding and decoding work with URL-safe mode.

Can I encode or decode Base64 with custom alphabets?

No. The tool uses the standard RFC 4648 alphabet. For custom alphabets, a command-line tool or custom script is needed.
