What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is commonly used to encode data that needs to be transmitted over media designed for text, such as email or embedding images in HTML/CSS.
How It Works
Base64 encoding converts every 3 bytes of data into 4 ASCII characters from a set of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). If the input length is not a multiple of 3, padding characters (=) are added.
