Frequently asked questions
Is Base64 the same as encryption?
No. Base64 is an encoding, not encryption — anyone can decode it instantly. It has no security property and should never be used to protect sensitive data.
Why does my Base64 string fail to decode?
Base64 uses only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, and = for padding. If the input contains other characters, or isn't a multiple of 4 characters after removing padding, decoding will fail.
