Frequently Asked Questions

How do I encode ASCII to Base64?

Simply type or paste your ASCII text into the input field. The tool automatically encodes it to Base64 format as you type.

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that represents text using 128 characters (0-127), including English letters, digits, and common symbols.

Is this ASCII to Base64 encoder secure?

Yes, completely secure. All encoding happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.

When should I use ASCII instead of UTF-8?

Use ASCII encoding when working with legacy systems or protocols that only support basic English characters. For international text, use the UTF-8 to Base64 converter instead.
