A tiny (!) single page website for high-performance Base64 decoding/encoding directly in the browser.
Background
As many of the other web developers once in a while I need to base64 encode-decode and somehow for me it’s more convenient to do it in the browser than in command line. Unfortunately most of the top search results on google are ad-bloated and convert on server side meaning that your data goes to somebody else’s computer first - not too nice.
So I have create these two tiny web sites https://www.base64encode.xyz/ and https://www.base64decode.xyz/ which are pretty much just tiny wrappers over window.btoa function. They are super-fast, encode-decode as you type and texts you enter are never sent to any servers. Code isn’t even onfuscated, so you can see the whole web site code clearly right in the browser’s web inspector.
Features
- Optimized for speed. It’s just a single page. Loads and converts instantly
- Privacy: nothing that you type is ever sent to any servers. Conversion happens in your browser
- Drop-in replacement for common Base64 encode-decode operations
