Result

Keyboard shortcuts: Press Ctrl + Enter (or + Enter) to execute, Ctrl + Shift + C to copy the result.

  1. Paste or type text into the data field.
  2. Select Base64 Encode or Base64 Decode.
  3. Press Execute (or use the shortcut) to process the text.
  4. Copy or tweak the result as needed.

Tip: Base64 represents bytes as text for transport; it increases size and does not compress or encrypt data.

  1. Paste the query string, fragment, or URL snippet.
  2. Select URL Encode or URL Decode.
  3. Execute to generate a safe URL or readable text.
  4. Copy the result for redirects, APIs, or analytics parameters.

Tip: URL encode replaces spaces with + and special characters with percent escapes.

  1. Provide text whose HTML-sensitive characters you want to encode or decode.
  2. Select HTML Entity Encode or HTML Entity Decode.
  3. Execute to convert characters such as angle brackets and ampersands.

Tip: Entity encoding is context-specific and is not a complete HTML sanitizer or XSS defense.

  1. Paste UTF-8 text (for text → hex) or a valid hex byte string.
  2. Select UTF-8 Text to Hex or Hex to UTF-8 Text.
  3. Execute to switch between the two representations.

Tip: Hex is ideal for debugging raw bytes or verifying cryptographic payloads.
