Base64 Encoder

A Base64 Encoder is a digital tool that encodes binary data into a text format using a specific encoding scheme. This is often used to transmit binary data over mediums that only support text, such as email or HTTP.

1. Binary Input: The tool takes binary data as input, which can be a file, a string of bits, or any other binary data.
2. Grouping: The binary data is grouped into 6-bit chunks.
3. Base64 Character Mapping: Each 6-bit chunk is mapped to a specific Base64 character from the set A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, and /.
4. Padding: If the binary data is not a multiple of 6 bits, padding characters (`=`) are added to the end of the encoded string.
5. Encoded Text Output: The tool outputs the encoded text, which is a string of Base64 characters.

• Data Transmission: Sending binary data over text-based protocols.
• Data Storage: Storing binary data in text-based formats.
• URL Encoding: Encoding binary data to be included in URLs.
• Email Attachments: Attaching binary files to emails.

By using a Base64 Encoder, you can efficiently transmit and store binary data in text-based formats.
