Base 64 Encoding Help

Text / File tabs

Please choose between the two methods of input/output.

Using Text

You can either type of paste text in ‘UTF-8’ panel or the ‘Base64’ panel and the other panel will automatically update accordingly.

When you are happy with the final result, you can click the relevant button to copy the converted text to the clipboard.

Using a file

You can either drop a file onto the centre of the ‘Unencoded file’ panel or ‘Encoded file’ panel or click the Upload File button on either panel and choose your file from the dialog.

After doing the above, you should now see that you have uploaded a file in one panel and the Download button in the other panel.

Click the Cancel button to rest both panels.

You can upload a unencoded file in the ‘Unencoded file’ panel, like an image file or data file. The ‘Encoded file’ panel's Download button will download a Base64 encoded text file (downloaded_encoded.txt).

You can upload a base64 encoded file in the ‘Encoded file’ panel. The ‘Unencoded file’ panel's Download button will download a decoded text file (downloaded_decoded.txt).

Note: When a file is downloaded as an unencoded file, we have not as yet included detection of decoded files in order to save them with an appropriate file extension, e.g. if the file you have decoded has image contents for a JPEG, we would not recognise this and the file will still be saved as a downloaded_decoded.txt text file. It would be up to the user to change the type of the file, e.g. rename the file with a .jpg file extension in Windows.

For a comprehensive tool we recommend using Base64 Decode and Encode.
