What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format.

Common Use Cases

• Data URIs: Embedding small images directly in CSS or HTML.
• Email Attachments: Sending binary files over text-based protocols.
• API Requests: Passing binary data in JSON payloads.
