FAQ

No. It is an encoding, not encryption — anyone can decode it. Never use it to protect secrets.

It represents three bytes with four characters, so the encoded result is about 33% larger than the original.

Yes. Arabic, emoji and any other Unicode text encode and decode correctly.

A string that embeds a file directly in HTML or CSS, in the form data:image/png;base64,… — the image mode generates one for you.

25 MB, which keeps the encoded string manageable inside the browser.

About this tool: Base64 Encoder / Decoder

Base64 for text and images alike

The Base64 Encoder/Decoder converts text to and from Base64, and handles binary payloads too: drop an image and get a data URI ready for embedding in HTML or CSS, or paste a Base64 data URI and recover the original file for download.

Base64 is the universal bridge between binary data and text-only channels — e-mail attachments, JSON payloads, data URIs, JWT segments. Encoding text is instant; the image round-trip is where the tool saves real time, letting you inline small icons directly into stylesheets without build tooling.

Conversion happens locally in your browser — sensitive tokens and credentials are base64, not encryption, and this tool lets you inspect and decode them without uploading them anywhere. Remember: Base64 encodes, it does not protect.

Like every Piclizer tool, this one runs entirely in your browser — your files stay on your device.
