A browser-based Base64 encoder and decoder for text and files, including Unicode and Base64URL support.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.

For: Developers handling sensitive text or files
Worth noticing: It supports file conversion, Base64URL options, data-URL prefixes, and a stated 64 MiB per-file maximum.

Field notes

The utility separates plain-text conversion from file handling and exposes practical options rather than hiding them behind a single input box. Users can add a Data URL prefix, choose wrapped or unwrapped output, and download encoded or decoded files. The page says refresh clears the workspace and warns that larger files may consume substantial browser memory, with a 64 MiB maximum. It also suggests verifying the local-processing claim through browser developer tools.
