What is Base64?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that represents binary data using 64 printable ASCII characters. It uses:

  • Uppercase letters (A–Z)
  • Lowercase letters (a–z)
  • Digits (0–9)
  • Special characters: + and /
  • Padding character: =

Uses: Email attachments, embedding images in HTML/CSS, data transmission, JSON/XML embedding, and storing binary data in text formats.

Size: Base64-encoded data is approximately 1.33× larger than the original data.
