What is a Base64 string?

A base64 string is a way of representing binary data (like files, images, or other data) as a simple string of text, made up of letters, numbers, and a few symbols. This transformation is useful for sending data over text-based systems, such as emails or URLs, where raw binary data might not work correctly.

Here’s how a base64 string is created:

  1. Converting Binary Data: The original binary data is broken down into smaller chunks.
  2. Encoding to Safe Text: Each chunk is then encoded as a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols (+ and /). These characters are "safe" for text-only systems.
  3. Adding Padding if Needed: Sometimes, an = symbol is added at the end to make the string a complete, valid base64 format.

Why Use Base64?

So, a base64 string looks like a random string of characters but actually contains encoded data in a form that’s safe to send or store as plain text.

So, base64 doesn’t make data smaller or secure – it just makes it compatible for certain situations by transforming it into plain text.

Example

For example, the text "Cat" in binary (when converted to ASCII) is 01000011 01100001 01110100. When encoded to base64, this binary data is broken down and mapped to create the base64 string Q2F0. This way, binary data is safely converted into a format that any text-based system can handle.
