FAQs
- Is Base64 encryption?
- No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it. Do not use it to hide secrets.
- Why do encoded strings get longer?
- Base64 represents binary/text using a 64-character alphabet and typically expands size by about a third.
- Is my text uploaded?
- No. Encoding/decoding is local.
