Frequently asked questions

Is Base64 a form of encryption?
No, Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption. Anyone can decode the output instantly, so never use it to hide passwords or secrets.
Why does my Base64 string end with one or two equals signs?
The = characters are padding that brings the output length to a multiple of four. One or two pads appear when the input byte length is not divisible by three.
What's the difference between standard Base64 and URL-safe Base64?
URL-safe Base64 replaces + with - and / with _ so the value can sit inside a URL without escaping. Standard Base64 uses + and / and may need percent-encoding in query strings.
