Base64 Encoder / Decoder vs URL Encoder / Decoder
Base64 Encoder / Decoder
Encode text or data to Base64, or decode Base64 back to plain text.
Encode any UTF-8 string to Base64 or decode a Base64 string back to plain text. Supports standard Base64 (RFC 4648) and URL-safe Base64 (uses - and _ instead of + and /). Detects and reports malformed input.
Example input:
{
"input": "Hello, World!",
"mode": "encode",
"charset": "standard"
}URL Encoder / Decoder
Encode or decode URLs and query string components using percent-encoding (RFC 3986).
Encode any string for safe use in a URL or query parameter using percent-encoding (RFC 3986), or decode a percent-encoded string back to plain text. Supports both full URL encoding (preserves ://?=& structure) and component encoding (encodes every special character). Shows a character-by-character encoding table for reference.
Example input:
{
"input": "hello world & more=stuff",
"mode": "encode-component"
