What does Base64 Encode / Decode actually do?

Base64 encodes bytes as ASCII so they survive systems that are not 8-bit clean. Decoding reverses that alphabet. Anyone can decode a Base64 string. It is not encryption, and it does not hide a token.

Is Base64 the same as encryption?

No. Base64 is encoding for transport. Anyone can decode it — use real encryption for confidentiality.

Does decoding upload my string?

No. Encode and decode run in your browser only.

Can I use this Base64 tool offline?
