FAQ

자주 묻는 질문

Q1. Is my input text sent to a server?

No. All encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser and are never sent to or stored on a server.

Q2. When should I use Base64 encoding?

It's used when binary data like images or files needs to be represented as text, for example in API responses, email attachments, or data URIs. It's a representation change, not encryption, so it isn't meant for security purposes.

Q3. When do I need URL encoding?

When a URL's query parameters contain non-ASCII characters, spaces, or special characters, they need to be converted to a form like %20 so browsers and servers interpret them correctly.

Q4. Why does decoding fail?

This happens when the input isn't a valid Base64 string, or when a % in URL-encoded input isn't followed by valid hex digits. Double-check the original value.

Q5. Can non-ASCII text be Base64 encoded?

Yes. Text is first encoded as UTF-8 and then converted to Base64, so any Unicode character — including non-Latin scripts and emoji — is supported.
