How to Use Free Online LZ4 to Base64 Converter - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your Data

Start by entering the data you want to compress and encode! This tool combines LZ4 compression with Base64 encoding in one step, making it perfect for storing compressed data in databases, sending via APIs, or embedding in JSON. You have several convenient options:

•
Paste directly: Copy your text or data and paste it into the input editor
•
Upload a file: Click "Upload" to select a file from your computer
•
Try the sample: Click "Sample" to load example data and see the conversion in action

Example: Input JSON Data

Here's what sample data looks like before compression and encoding:

{
  "user": {
    "id": "USR-98765",
    "name": "Alex Chen"
  }
}
Step 2

Automatic Compression & Encoding

The conversion happens automatically! As soon as you input data, the tool:

•
Compresses with LZ4: Ultra-fast compression using the LZ4 algorithm
•
Encodes to Base64: Converts binary compressed data to text-safe Base64 format
•
Shows statistics: View original size, compressed size, and compression ratio

Example: Base64 Encoded Output

After compression and encoding, you'll get Base64 text:

BAAAAAAoeyJ1c2VyIjp7ImlkIjoiVVNSLTk4NzY1IiwibmFtZSI6IkFsZXggQ2hlbiJ9fQ==

This Base64 string can be safely stored in databases or transmitted via APIs.

Step 3

Copy or Download Base64 Output

Use your compressed and encoded data wherever you need it:

•
Copy to clipboard: One-click copying for quick use in your applications
•
Download as file: Save the Base64 string to a text file for later use
•
Use in APIs: Perfect for HTTP requests and database storage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LZ4 to Base64 conversion?

LZ4 to Base64 conversion is a two-step process that first compresses your data using the ultra-fast LZ4 algorithm, then encodes the binary compressed data into Base64 text format. This makes it safe to store in databases, transmit via APIs, or embed in JSON without worrying about binary data encoding issues.

Why use LZ4 compression with Base64 encoding?

Combining LZ4 with Base64 gives you the best of both worlds: LZ4 provides ultra-fast compression to reduce data size, while Base64 encoding ensures the compressed data can be safely transmitted as text through APIs, stored in text-based databases, or embedded in JSON/XML documents without corruption.

Is my data secure when using this tool?

Absolutely! All compression and encoding happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your computer or gets uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

How do I decompress LZ4 Base64 data?

Use our Base64 to LZ4 decompression tool to reverse the process. It will decode the Base64 string and decompress the LZ4 data to restore your original content.

What are the best use cases for LZ4 Base64 encoding?

Perfect for API payloads, storing compressed data in NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis), embedding compressed data in JSON, real-time gaming applications, logging systems, and any scenario where you need fast compression with text-safe encoding. The speed of LZ4 makes it ideal for high-throughput applications.

Does Base64 encoding increase the size?

Yes, Base64 encoding increases the size by approximately 33%. However, the LZ4 compression typically reduces the original data size by 50-60%, so the final Base64-encoded compressed data is still smaller than the original uncompressed data.

Can I use this for binary files?

This tool is optimized for text data like JSON, XML, CSV, and plain text. For binary files like images or executables, consider using our standard LZ4 compression tool instead.

How fast is LZ4 compression compared to other algorithms?

LZ4 is one of the fastest compression algorithms available, typically 5-10x faster than GZIP for compression and 2-3x faster for decompression. While it may not achieve the highest compression ratios, its speed makes it ideal for real-time applications and high-performance systems.
