Frequently Asked Questions
Is Base64 encoding the same as encryption?▾
No. Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption. Anyone can decode it. Never use Base64 to protect sensitive data.
Does Base64 support Unicode and emoji?▾
Yes, this tool first encodes text as UTF-8 bytes, then converts those bytes to Base64, preserving all Unicode characters.
