Encode and Decode Base64 Online with Bagiqo
Base64 is a widespread encoding used to represent text and binary data as ASCII characters. The free Base64 encoder and decoder from Bagiqo lets you encode and decode strings in either direction with a single click.
How Base64 encoding works
Base64 maps every three bytes of data to four printable characters using the alphabet A-Z, a-z, 0-9, plus and slash. A padding character (=) is added at the end when the input length is not a multiple of three. The result is a safe, text-only representation of the original data.
Common uses for Base64
- Embedding images as Data URIs in HTML and CSS
- Transferring files inside JSON payloads
- Representing data in URLs and email
- Encoding simple credentials in HTTP headers

Important: Base64 is not encryption
Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it, so never use it to protect sensitive data. For confidentiality you need a real encryption algorithm.
