Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with Unicode?
The tool uses UTF-8 conversion for common Unicode text.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is an encoding, not encryption.
Base64 is encoding, not security
Base64 represents data using letters and numbers so it can travel through systems that only handle text. Anyone can decode it, so never use it to hide passwords or personal information.
The tool handles UTF-8 text, so accented characters and emoji round-trip correctly. If decoding fails, check for missing padding or stray spaces.
