What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 encoding is a method of converting binary data into a text format using a set of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, + and /). It allows you to represent binary data in an ASCII string format.
Base64 encoding is particularly useful for:
- Embedding binary data in text-based protocols
- Transmitting data over systems with text limitations
- Storing complex data in a simple string format
- Preparing data for web or email transmission
Note: Base64 encoding increases the data size by approximately 33%. It provides encoding, not encryption, and should not be used for security purposes.
