What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into a sequence of printable ASCII characters. It uses 64 characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9, +, /) to represent arbitrary binary data, making it safe to include in text-based formats like JSON, HTML, email, and URLs.
Common Use Cases
- Embedding images directly into HTML or CSS as data URIs
- Encoding binary attachments in email (MIME)
- Passing data through URLs or HTTP headers without corruption
- Storing binary data in JSON payloads
Example
Input:
Hello, Base64!
Encoded output:
SGVsbG8sIEJhc2U2NCE=
