Encode and Decode Base64 Text Online

APIs, data URLs, and config snippets often expect a Base64 string instead of raw text. Decoding someone else’s blob back into readable UTF-8 is the other half of the job.

NeedAnyTool splits that into two focused tools:

• Text to Base64 — UTF-8 encode, then Base64
• Base64 to Text — decode Base64 back to UTF-8 text

Both run in the browser. Paste text only — these pages are not file uploaders for binary assets.

Encode

1. Open Text to Base64.
2. Paste the string.
3. Copy the Base64 output.

Decode

1. Open Base64 to Text.
2. Paste the Base64 (whitespace is stripped).
3. Copy the UTF-8 text — invalid input shows a clear error.

Limits to know: decode is aimed at text. Arbitrary binary payloads may not display usefully as characters. For other encodings, see Text to Binary / Binary to Text or the ASCII code-point pair.

FAQ

Is encoding the same as encryption?

No. Base64 is an encoding. Anyone can decode it.

Private?

Yes — browser-only.
