How We're Different
Many online Base64 tools send your data to their servers for processing, which raises privacy and security concerns. We take a different approach:
- No server-side processing: Everything runs in your browser
- No data collection: We don't collect or store your decoded/encoded content
- No registration required: Start using immediately
- Open and transparent: Our approach to privacy is clearly documented
- Works offline: Once loaded, the tool can work without an internet connection

Important Notice
Base64 is NOT encryption! While our tool ensures your data stays private through client-side processing, Base64 encoding itself is not a security measure. It's simply a way to represent binary data in text format. If you need to secure sensitive data, use proper encryption methods like:
- HTTPS for web communications
- PGP/GPG for email encryption
- AES for file encryption
- TLS/SSL for network security
