About This Tool

Encoding and decoding data is essential for security, data transfer, and API work. This free encoder-decoder supports base64, URL encoding, and more. Encode text to base64 (useful for APIs, authentication), decode base64 back to plaintext, URL-encode special characters, and more. All conversion happens instantly in your browser — your data is never sent to a server.

Common Uses

  • Encode/decode base64 for API authentication
  • URL-encode special characters for query strings
  • Debug API requests and responses

Frequently Asked

Why would I need base64 encoding?
Base64 converts binary or special characters into safe ASCII text. It's used in email (MIME), HTTP auth headers, and data URIs.
Is encoding the same as encryption?
No. Encoding is reversible and not secure. Encryption uses keys and is meant for security. For secrets, use encryption.
What's URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent encoding) converts special characters to %XX format so they're safe in URLs. Example: space → %20.
Is my data stored?
No. All encoding/decoding happens in your browser. Data is never sent to a server.
