Base64 is an encoding format for moving bytes through text-friendly systems. It is not encryption.

Frequently asked questions

Does Base64 encrypt my text?

No. Base64 changes how bytes are represented; anyone can decode it. Do not use it as a security or privacy measure.

Will Unicode text work?

Yes. BytesBench converts text as UTF-8, so accented characters, symbols, and non-Latin scripts round-trip safely.

Can I paste Base64 with line breaks?

Yes. Whitespace is ignored while decoding, but the decoded value must be valid UTF-8 text.
