Binary to Base64 Converter
Working with binary data can feel like decoding an alien language—especially when you need to convert it into something more usable, like Base64. Whether you're a developer troubleshooting an API, a student learning data encoding, or just someone curious about how computers "talk," this tool is here to simplify your life. Paste your binary code (those 0s and 1s), click convert, and voilà—your Base64 result is ready! No PhD in computer science required. Just straightforward, quick, and hassle-free conversions that make you wonder why you ever stressed about it in the first place.
Enter binary data (0s and 1s) and convert it to Base64.
Invalid binary input. Please enter only 0s and 1s.
How It Works
This tool takes binary data (a series of 0s and 1s) and converts it into Base64, a format commonly used for encoding data in web applications. Here's the magic in simple terms:
- The binary input is split into chunks of 8 bits (1 byte).
- Each byte is converted into its corresponding ASCII character.
- These characters are then encoded into Base64, which uses a set of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '+', '/') to represent the data.
For example, the binary input 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 translates to "Hello" in ASCII, and then to SGVsbG8= in Base64.
Example Conversions
| Binary Input | Base64 Output |
|---|---|
| 01000001 | QQ== |
| 01000010 | Qg== |
| 01000011 | Qw== |
| 01000100 | RA== |
| 01000101 | RQ== |
