What does Base64 Encoder do?

Base64 Encoder converts plain text into Base64 so the output can be copied into transport, storage, or application workflows that use encoded values.

When should I use Base64 encoding?

Use it for quick encoding tasks such as testing payloads, preparing header values, or working with content that must be represented as plain text.

Is Base64 the same as encryption?
