How is this different from Base64 Encode?

Both use the same engine. This page targets the “text to base64” search intent with text-only UX. Prefer Image to Base64 for files.

Are line breaks included in the output?

No. Output is a single Base64 string without MIME line wrapping, which matches typical developer usage.

Does emoji encode correctly?

Yes. Text is converted with TextEncoder (UTF-8) before Base64, so multi-byte characters encode and decode correctly.

How do I fix Invalid character errors when encoding?

Base64 input for encoding is plain text only. If you pasted an already-encoded string or binary garbage into the encode field, clear it and paste the raw text you want to convert.

When should I use Image to Base64 instead?

Use Image to Base64 when the source is a PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP file. This page is for strings — it does not read files from disk.

Text to Base64
