When to use Base64 Encode/Decode

Base64 Encode/Decode is useful for quick writing, checking, formatting, counting, encoding, decoding, and development tasks that should not require a full app install or account.

Privacy, limits, and output quality

The file work happens in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to FilesFlow servers, which keeps private documents faster to process and easier to control.
