¿Qué hace Base64 Encode & Decode?
Base64 Encode & Decode permite codificar o decodificar contenido directamente en el navegador y explica con claridad el resultado y sus límites. Capacidades verificadas: UTF-8 text encoding, File input up to 50 MB, Base64URL alphabet, Binary download.
Choose Base64URL for URL-safe values
Use standard Base64 for MIME and general byte transport. Use Base64URL for URL components and JWT segments where +, /, and padding are inconvenient.
¿Cómo se utiliza?
- Choose Encode or Decode.
- Enter text, paste Base64, or select a local file; enable the URL-safe alphabet when required.
- Copy text output or download decoded binary bytes.

SGVsbG8=The five UTF-8 bytes are represented by eight Base64 characters including padding.
Errores frecuentes y soluciones
| Síntoma | Causa probable | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Decode reports invalid Base64. | The alphabet, padding, or copied characters are wrong. | Choose the matching standard or URL-safe alphabet and restore valid padding when required. |
| Decoded output looks corrupted. | Binary bytes are being previewed as UTF-8 text. | Download decoded.bin instead of relying on the text preview. |
Base64 changes representation, not trust
Límite específico de esta herramienta: Base64 usually adds about one third to binary size because four encoded characters represent three source bytes. Anyone can decode it without a key.
Estándares y referencias de implementación
- RFC 4648 — Base-N Encodings (opens in a new tab)Defines Base64 and the URL-safe alphabet.
Base64 — FAQ
Does Base64 encrypt data?
No. Base64 is reversible encoding and provides no secrecy or authentication.
What is Base64URL?
Base64URL replaces + and / with - and _ and commonly omits padding.
Can it encode a file?
Yes. A selected file up to 50 MB is encoded in the current browser tab.
¿Qué cambió?
Actualización material: Base64: Added UTF-8 text conversion, local file encoding up to 50 MB, Base64URL mode, validation, copy, and decoded binary download.
