Frequently asked questions

Why do some decoders break emoji?+

Naive window.btoa usage assumes Latin-1. We encode via TextEncoder so Unicode survives round-trips.

Is Base64 encryption?+

No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it.

How do I encode a string to Base64 for an Authorization header?+

Paste the raw credentials or token string into ToolVera’s Base64 tool and copy the encoded output. Encoding happens in your browser—useful for quick header tests without sending secrets to a server.

Why does my Base64 string have padding with = characters?+

Padding completes the last block so the length is a multiple of four. Most decoders expect it; strip padding only when a specific API documents that requirement.
