🛠️ How It Works – Base64 Encode & Decode

1. Paste Your Text – Insert the plain text or Base64-encoded string into the input box.
2. Select Mode – Choose whether you want to Encode to Base64 or Decode from Base64.
3. Pick the Encoding Type – Select your character encoding: ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1), or Windows-1252.
4. Click “Encode” or “Decode” – The tool processes your text instantly using the chosen method and encoding.
5. View & Copy Output – Get the resulting Base64 or decoded text ready to copy or download.

⚡ Why Use a Base64 Encode & Decode Tool?

• Fast Conversion – Instantly transform text to and from Base64 with one click.
• Flexible Encoding Options – Choose from multiple character sets to match your context.
• Secure & Local – All processing happens in your browser—no data upload.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Use UTF-8 if you're dealing with multi-language content—it ensures proper encoding of non-ASCII characters.
• To embed binary data (like images) in text formats (e.g., CSS, HTML), first convert it to Base64.
• To debug or test encoding/decoding logic (like in APIs), switch to a different encoding type to see how character sets affect results.
