Encode Text to Base64

Category: Encoding | Feature: base64_encode

Base64 encoding is common in integrations, debugging, and data transport. Clean encoding avoids malformed payload errors.

This guide explains when to encode text and how to validate output before sending it to third-party systems.

Use Cases

  • Preparing API request payload values.
  • Encoding sample strings for documentation.
  • Testing webhook and automation pipeline inputs.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Paste raw text into the input area.
  2. Select "Base64 Encode".
  3. Run the feature and copy the encoded output.
  4. Decode once in a test step to verify no data corruption before production use.

Expert Tips

  • Base64 is encoding, not encryption; do not treat it as security protection.
  • Avoid adding manual line breaks to encoded values unless your target system requires them.

Example

Sample Input

hello

Expected Output

aGVsbG8=
