Frequently asked questions
Is Base64 Encoder free to use?
Yes. Base64 Encoder is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Base64 Encoder upload your text to a server?
No. Base64 Encoder processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Base64 Encoder.
Do I need to install anything to use Base64 Encoder?
No installation is needed. Base64 Encoder runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Base64 Encoder on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Base64 Encoder interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Base64 Encoder keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
