About Base64 Encoding

Base64 encoding converts binary data into ASCII characters using a 64-character alphabet (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). It's commonly used for data transmission and storage.

Common Uses:

Email attachments: MIME encoding for binary files
Web development: Embedding images in CSS/HTML
APIs: Encoding credentials and tokens
Data URLs: Inline data in web pages
Configuration: Storing binary data in text files

Features:

Text-safe: Converts binary data to printable ASCII
URL-safe: Can be transmitted in URLs and forms
Reversible: Can be decoded back to original data
Size increase: Output is about 33% larger than input

Note: Base64 encoding is not encryption or security - it's simply a way to represent data in a text-safe format.
