JSON to Base64

Encode and decode JSON with Base64

Encode your JSON data to Base64 format for safe transmission in URLs and APIs. Also decode Base64 strings back to JSON. Useful for encoding data for web requests, storing in databases, or transmitting through systems that require ASCII text.


How to convert JSON to Base64?

The process is straightforward:

  • Paste your JSON data in the input box
  • Click 'Encode' to convert it to Base64
  • See the encoded string in the output
  • Use 'Decode' to convert Base64 back to JSON
  • Copy the result for your needs

Understanding Base64 Encoding

Base64 encoding converts binary data (like JSON) into ASCII text format using 64 characters. This makes your data safe to use in URLs, embed in HTML, or transmit through systems that only accept text. It's not encryption - it's encoding, which means it's reversible and doesn't provide security, just format conversion.

When Base64 Encoding is Useful

  • Including JSON data in URLs without breaking the URL structure
  • Encoding data for API transmission that requires ASCII text
  • Storing JSON as Base64 in databases or systems
  • Transmitting data through systems that only accept text format

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Base64 encoding?

It's an encoding scheme that converts binary data to ASCII text using 64 characters. It's commonly used to make data safe for transmission in URLs, emails, or other text-based systems.

Why encode JSON to Base64?

Base64 encoding makes JSON safe to use in URLs, APIs, and storage systems that require ASCII text. It prevents special characters from breaking URLs or causing transmission issues.

Can I decode Base64 back to JSON?

Yes! The tool includes a decode function that converts Base64 strings back to JSON. Just paste your Base64 string and click decode.

Is Base64 secure?

Base64 is encoding, not encryption. It doesn't provide security - anyone can decode it. It's just a format conversion to make data safe for text-based transmission.
