About Base64

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is commonly used to encode binary data for transmission over text-based protocols like email or HTTP.

  • Uses 64 characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /
  • Padding character: =
  • Output is ~33% larger than input
  • URL-safe variant uses - and _ instead of + and /
