What is this calculator?
Encode or decode text using a standard reversible encoding.
What can you use it for?
Use it for practical planning, conversions, measurement or checking the result described here. Encode or decode text using a standard reversible encoding.
How to use it
- Enter text.
- Enter action.
- Select Calculate (or Generate for random tools).
- Read the answer and any additional results below the form. Check the units and the limits of the method.
Formula and method
UTF-8 text bytes ↔ Base64 representation
Decoding requires Base64 that represents valid UTF-8 text. Encoding does not protect confidentiality.
Worked example
Text: Hello world, Action: Encode. The result is SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ= (converted text).
Assumptions and limits
Encoding is not encryption. Do not enter sensitive secrets.
