This tool allows text encoding and decoding using Base64.

Base64 encoding is especially useful for transferring data containing special characters within a limited number of common and non-special characters.

This way, it is possible to transmit content that originally had special characters, without the loss of information.

On some occasions, Base64 is also used as a form of encryption, since the encoded content is not initially readable. However, it should not in any way be really considered as a method of cryptography.
