How to Use the Base64 File Inspector Tool
This comprehensive guide will help you understand how to effectively use our Base64 File Inspector for all your encoding and decoding needs.
1. Text Encoding & Decoding
Simply paste or type any text in the input area and click "Encode to Base64" to convert it to Base64 format. Conversely, paste a Base64 string and click "Decode from Base64" to convert it back to readable text.
Example: "Hello World" → "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ="2. File Processing
You can upload any file (images, documents, PDFs) up to 10MB using drag & drop or the browse button. The tool will automatically encode the file to Base64 and provide a preview when possible.
