FAQ
What is Base64?
Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.
Why use Base64?
It is often used to embed binary data (like images) directly into HTML or CSS files, or to safely transmit data (like email attachments) over protocols that may not support raw binary data.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is an **encoding** scheme, not encryption. It does not secure your data; anyone can decode it back to the original form. Do not use it for sensitive data like passwords.
