About Base64 Encoding

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used when there's a need to encode binary data, especially when that data needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with text. This encoding helps ensure that the data remains intact without modification during transport.

Common uses include:

  • Embedding image data in HTML or CSS
  • Storing complex data in JSON
  • Email attachments (MIME)
  • Representing binary data in XML
