Built Base64 Encoder/Decoder micro-tool for quick data handling—would love your feedback!
Hey Product Hunt community! đź‘‹
Whether you're debugging web API payloads, formatting basic auth tokens, or handling string encodings during web development, having a fast and secure Base64 tool is an essential part of the daily developer workflow.
To simplify this process without relying on cluttered or laggy sites, I vibe-coded a clean, browser-based Base64 Encoder and Decoder micro-tool.
Key features & functionality:
Instant Bi-directional Conversion: Effortlessly encode raw text into Base64 format and decode Base64 strings back to plain text in real-time.
Developer-Friendly Handling: Designed to process technical API payloads, query strings, and authentication parameters smoothly.
100% Client-Side & Private: All conversion logic runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript—your sensitive text or data is never sent to any server.
I built this utility using PHP and vanilla JS to keep it lightweight, fast, and responsive. You can test it out directly here: Base64 Encoder and Decoder
Question for developers & builders: How often do you use Base64 encoding in your daily workflows (APIs, image URIs, auth tokens)? Are there any extra formatting or output options (e.g., URL-safe Base64) you'd like to see added? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚀

Thanks for stopping by! I'm considering adding a URL-safe Base64 toggle and image-to-Base64 conversion in the next update. Feel free to give it a try, leave your feedback, or share what micro-tools you're building as well! 🙌
