This site provides a free tool to encode and decode Base64 data. In other words, you can check the encoded or decoded result directly from your browser without the need to install third-party software. Despite such an easy way, you can start encode or decode your data “in one click”.

Safe and Secure

All operations necessary for encode and decode Base64 are performed in the browser, and all data is stored only in the user’s device memory.

Completely free

Our tool is free to use and you do not need to download anything.
