Base64 Encode
100% Client-SideBase64 Encode helps you encode text or supported input into Base64 for systems that require text-safe binary representation. It is meant for quick development work such as testing APIs, embedding small data payloads, and working with authentication or transport formats.
Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone who has the value can decode it.
