Frequently Asked Questions
What is Base64 encoding used for?
Base64 encoding is commonly used to encode binary data (like images or files) into ASCII text format for safe transmission over text-based protocols like email or HTTP.
When should I use URL encoding?
URL encoding is used when you need to include special characters in URLs. It converts characters like spaces, ampersands, and other special symbols into percent-encoded format.
What are HTML entities?
HTML entities are special codes used to represent characters that have special meaning in HTML, such as <, >, &, and quotes. They ensure proper display and prevent HTML parsing issues.
Can I encode Unicode characters?
Yes, all encoding methods support Unicode characters. Base64 and URL encoding will properly handle international characters, and HTML entities can represent any Unicode character.
What happens if I try to decode invalid text?
The tool will display an error message if the input text is not valid for the selected decoding method. This helps you identify and fix encoding issues.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all encoding and decoding happens in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere, ensuring complete privacy.
