Text to Base64

What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. This encoding is primarily used for securely transmitting data over mediums that may not support binary data. For example, emails, URLs, and data storage all use Base64 to handle binary files or other non-text data.
