What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into text using a set of 64 characters. Commonly used for transmitting data over text-based protocols.

What is the difference between Base32 and Base58?

Base32 uses 32 characters and is case-insensitive, while Base58 avoids visually similar characters, making it ideal for user-facing contexts.

Is Base encoding secure?

Base encoding is a data representation method, not encryption. For security, use proper encryption methods.

Can I decode Base64 without special software?

Yes, most modern browsers and tools can decode Base64 natively.

What is Base58 commonly used for?

Base58 is widely used in cryptocurrency addresses due to its compact format and reduced risk of confusion.

Encoding Guidelines

Base64

• Used in data URIs
• Common in web/email
• Uses A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /
• Padding with =

Base32

• Case-insensitive
• Uses A-Z, 2-7
• Good for human readability
• Used in DNS, TOTP

Base58

• Used in cryptocurrencies
• Excludes 0, O, I, l
• Compact representation
• Prevents visual ambiguity
