Why it's helpful

Who it's for

Developers, marketers building tracking links and anyone handling encoded data.

How to use it

  1. Paste text, click the operation you need.
  2. Base64 handles Arabic, emoji and any UTF-8 text correctly.
💡 Pro tip: Encode only the parameter values in a link, not the whole URL, or the link itself will stop working.

💻 Open source: this tool is free and open source (MIT License). View the code on GitHub, download it and run it offline.

The bigger picture: Developer

Developers lose a surprising amount of time to small tasks: formatting data, decoding tokens, converting between formats and checking syntax. Fast in-browser tools keep you in flow and keep sensitive data off third-party servers.

What's changing: AI coding assistants now write a lot of code, but developers still need quick, trustworthy tools to inspect and verify what comes out: formatters, validators and decoders matter more, not less.

Frequently asked questions

Is Base64 encryption?
