What is Base64?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding format that converts files and binary data into ASCII characters so it can be safely transmitted through text-based systems.

Common uses

Base64 encoded files are commonly used in APIs, JSON data, email attachments, and data URLs when embedding images or other binary data in HTML or CSS.
