What is Base64?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data as an ASCII string. It is commonly used for embedding images in HTML/CSS, encoding email attachments (MIME), transmitting data in URLs and APIs, and storing binary data in JSON or XML. Each Base64 character represents 6 bits of data, so encoded output is approximately 33% larger than the original.
