Smart tips

  • UTF-8 encode so Hindi, Chinese and emoji don’t break.
  • URL-safe swaps +/ for -_ — use it in query strings.
  • Data URIs are great for icons under ~20 KB. Larger images should stay as files.
  • Base64 is not encryption.

Free Base64 Encoder Decoder —
Text, Image to Base64, JWT & Files

Looking for the best Base64 encode decode tool in 2026? TimeSpace Studio encodes UTF-8 text (Hindi, Chinese, emoji), converts image to Base64 and Base64 to image, plus files, JWT and hex — without the upload that Base64Encode.org, Base64.guru and CodeBeautify still do on some flows.

Paste a data URI, an tag or CSS url() — we strip the wrapper, detect PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP/SVG from magic bytes, preview it and let you download the file. URL-safe (RFC 4648), MIME wrap 76, and no-padding are one click.

100% client-side. No login, no signup, no watermark. Tokens, screenshots and private files never leave this browser.

Why Use Our Free Base64 Converter?

UTF-8, not Latin-1

TextEncoder so “नमस्ते 👋” round-trips. Old btoa()-only tools still break emoji.

Image ↔ Base64 in one tab

Drop a PNG or paste iVBOR… Get a preview, data URI, HTML, CSS and Markdown.

URL-safe + MIME wrap

RFC 4648 -_ alphabet, optional 76-char wrap, optional strip padding — the options APIs actually need.

JWT peek

Split header.payload.signature and pretty-print JSON. Decode only — we never verify.

Any file, not just text

PDF, ZIP, fonts, audio. Encode to Base64 or paste Base64 and download the bytes back.

No upload, no login

Unlike many “online Base64” pages, this one never posts your string to a server.

How to Encode or Decode Base64 Online Free

  1. Pick a tab — Text, Image, File, JWT or Hex.
  2. Paste or drop — text, a screenshot, a data URI, an img tag, or any file. Nothing is uploaded.
  3. Encode, Decode or Auto — Auto guesses from alphabet and padding. Turn on URL-safe or MIME wrap if you need them.
  4. Copy the snippet you need — raw, data URI, HTML, CSS or Markdown.
  5. Download — decoded images and files save with the detected extension.

Pro tip: Hello encodes to SGVsbG8=. A PNG usually starts with iVBORw0KGgo. Keep inline data URIs under ~20 KB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Unlimited encode and decode, no signup, no upload. Everything runs in your browser.
Open the Image tab and drop a PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, SVG or ICO. Copy raw Base64, a data URI, or HTML/CSS/Markdown snippets.
Paste raw Base64, a data URI, CSS url() or an HTML img tag. We detect the format from magic bytes, preview it and let you download the file.
No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it. Use HTTPS and real crypto for secrets.
RFC 4648 replaces + with - and / with _ so the string survives URLs and filenames. JWTs use this variant.
Yes. Encoding uses TextEncoder UTF-8 so Hindi, Chinese, Arabic and emoji round-trip without mojibake.
Every 3 bytes become 4 ASCII characters (6-bit groups). Plus optional padding. Fine for small icons; poor for large photos.
Yes — the JWT tab pretty-prints header and payload. It does not verify the signature. Never paste production secrets into a random site; this one stays local, but treat tokens as sensitive.
No artificial upload cap. Very large files may hit browser memory. A few megabytes is comfortable on desktop.
