Convert Hexadecimal (Hex) to Base64

Convert hexadecimal values to Base64 code quickly and easily with our free online converter.

What is Base64?

Binary-text encoding schemes such as Base64 act as interpreters, translating machine-readable binary data into human-readable strings. The adaptability of Base64 goes beyond mere representation and finds applications in embedding images and ensuring cross-platform compatibility. Its widespread use and standardised nature make Base64 an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between binary and human understanding.

What is Hex?

Hexadecimal, often abbreviated as hex is a base-16 system employs 16 symbols, including the familiar digits 0-9 and the letters A-F, to represent binary data concisely. Hexadecimal’s compactness makes it well-suited for expressing large binary numbers with fewer digits, facilitating human readability and manipulation of digital information. Its widespread use in programming and various applications highlights its significance in bridging the gap between binary and human understanding.

How Do I Use the Online Hex to Base64 Converter?

1. To encode hex text, enter it in the input field or upload a file.
2. Customise the settings, you can set each line to be encoded separately or the format of the output result.
3. No need to press a button, the Base64 result will automatically appear in the Output field.
4. If you want, you can copy the result using the Copy button.

Is Base64 an Encryption?

No, Base64 is not an encryption method. It is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into text format. Encryption, on the other hand, is a process of transforming data into an unreadable form to protect its confidentiality.

The following table lists the main distinctions between encryption and Base64:

Feature	Base64	Encryption
Purpose	Convert binary data into human-readable text format	Protect data confidentiality
Mechanism	Rearranges bits and symbols	Uses complex algorithms and keys
Reversible	Yes, easily decoded back to original binary data	No, requires a decryption key
Security	Not secure for sensitive data	Provides strong security against unauthorized access

Is it Secure to Use Your Base64 Converter?

Our conversion tool functions solely on the client-side, meaning all the transformation processes take place within your web browser. No data is transmitted to our servers, safeguarding your information and maintaining its confidentiality throughout the conversion process. Your privacy and security are our top priorities.

Base64 Characters and Table

Base64 encoding employs a standardized set of 64 ASCII characters, encompassing uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and two special symbols, typically “+” and “/”, to represent binary data
