Base64 encoder

A Base64 encoder is a tool that translates binary data (like images, documents, or other files) into an ASCII string that's safe for transmission or storage in environments that don't handle binary data well, such as email or text files. This process uses a specific encoding scheme that represents 6 bits of binary data with one ASCII character. The result is a longer string of characters, but one that is composed only of printable ASCII characters, avoiding issues with special characters or binary data corruption. Decoders are then used to reverse the process, converting the Base64 string back into its original binary form.
