APIs, JWTs, email, and data URIs — based on RFCs, OpenAPI patterns, and public API docs. base64app does not collect usage data from visitors.

Privacy

No user data collected. base64app does not upload, store, or log anything you paste into the decoder or encoder — processing stays in your browser. Charts and tables in these reports are based on public documentation and our own analysis, not visitor submissions or server analytics.

Key findings

  • JSON REST APIs account for the largest share of day-to-day base64 exposure among backend developers (~38%) in this model.
