Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded to a server when I encode it?

No. Encoding and decoding run entirely in your browser as JavaScript — nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored. Once the page has loaded it keeps working even if you go offline.

Is Base64 the same as encryption?

No. Base64 is an encoding, not encryption, and anyone can reverse it without a key. It is useful for making data safe to carry as text, but never rely on it to hide a secret.

Why does decoding fail with "Invalid Base64 input"?

The decoder expects standard Base64: A–Z, a–z, 0–9, + and / with = padding. URL-safe variants use - and _ instead, so JWT segments should go to the JWT Decoder, which converts Base64URL automatically.
