Base64 Email Encoder

What is Base64 Email Encoding?

Base64 email encoding is a technique used to convert email addresses into a Base64 format to protect them from spam bots and email harvesters. These automated programs scan websites looking for email addresses to add to spam lists. By encoding your email in Base64, you make it unreadable to these bots while keeping it fully functional for human visitors.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using This Tool

Step 1: Enter Your Email Address

Type or paste your email address into the input field on the left. You can enter multiple email addresses separated by commas or new lines for bulk processing.

Step 3: Use the Encoded Email

Copy the encoded result using the "Copy Result" button and implement it in your HTML code. The most common implementation is within a mailto link:

<a href="mailto:encoded-email-here">Contact Us</a>

Step 4: Decoding When Needed

If you receive a Base64 encoded email and need to decode it, simply paste the Base64 string into the input field and click "Decode from Base64". The tool will instantly reveal the original email address.
