## FAQ

### Does it support Unicode?

Yes. Text is encoded as UTF-8 bytes before Base64 conversion.

### Is my data uploaded?

No. Encoding and decoding run locally in your browser.

### URL-safe Base64?

This tool uses standard Base64 (+/ padding). For URL-safe variants, use a dedicated encoder.

### Can I decode binary?

Decoding assumes valid UTF-8 text output. Binary data may fail to decode as text.
