Base64 Tools

Encode images and data as Base64, or decode Base64 back into images, JSON, CSV, XML and more. Useful for data: URLs, API payloads and email attachments.

All Base64 Tools

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Pick the direction you need below.

  2. Step 2

    Paste text or choose a file.

  3. Step 3

    Copy the Base64 string (or data: URL), or download the decoded file.

Good to know

  • Base64 makes data about 33% larger, so inline only small images such as icons.
  • Base64 is an encoding, not encryption — anyone can decode it.
  • Free, no sign-up
  • Runs in your browser
  • Works on phones

Frequently asked questions

Are these Base64 Tools free?

Yes. Every one of these Base64 Tools is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Is the data I paste sent to a server?

No. Conversion runs in JavaScript inside this browser tab and nothing you paste is sent or stored. Even so, avoid pasting live passwords, API keys or private customer data into any website.

Why do I get an error?

Almost always the input isn’t quite valid: a missing comma or quote in JSON, an unclosed tag in XML, or a tab in YAML. The error message shows where parsing stopped — fix that spot, or press “Load example” to compare with input that works.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, tablets and computers — nothing to install.
