About This Tool
ToolsFaction Base64 Encoder & Decoder provides a simple workspace for converting text to and from Base64. It supports UTF-8 text, making it useful for API payloads, development workflows, data inspection and quick encoding tasks. You can also load a local text file, copy the result or download the converted output.nnThe conversion is designed to run directly in your browser, so your text does not need to be sent away for routine encoding or decoding.
How to Use
- Enter or paste text into the Input panel. You can also load a local text file.
- Choose Encode to convert readable text into Base64, or Decode to convert valid Base64 back into UTF-8 text.
- Use Swap to move the latest output back into the input panel when you want to reverse a conversion.
- Copy the result to your clipboard or download it as a text file.
Example
Enter “ToolsFaction” and choose Encode. The output becomes “VG9vbHNGYWN0aW9u”. Move that result back to the input and choose Decode to restore the original text.
