Is Base64 encryption?

No. It is a reversible encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it, so never use it to protect secrets.

Does it handle emoji and Unicode?

Yes. Text is encoded as UTF-8 first, so multi-byte characters round-trip correctly.

Base64 encoder

Paste any text — including emoji and non-Latin characters — to encode it to a Base64 string. Runs locally, so nothing you paste is uploaded.

What Base64 encoding is

Base64 represents arbitrary bytes using 64 printable characters. It lets binary or Unicode text travel safely through systems that expect plain ASCII.

Why encode to Base64

It is used to embed data in URLs, JSON, HTML data attributes, and email, and to carry credentials in headers where raw bytes would be unsafe.

Correct Unicode handling

This encoder converts text to UTF-8 bytes first, so emoji and accented or non-Latin characters encode correctly rather than being corrupted.
