FAQ

Common questions

What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary or text data in an ASCII string format using 64 printable characters.

Why do other online Base64 tools break on emojis or non-English text?

Standard JavaScript btoa() only supports ASCII (Latin-1). SnipFerry uses modern UTF-8 byte encoding so emojis and accents decode flawlessly.

What is URL-Safe Base64?

Standard Base64 contains + and / which have special meanings in URLs. URL-safe Base64 replaces them with - and _ to prevent routing errors.

Is it safe to decode private tokens here?

Yes, 100%. Data never leaves your computer; all encoding/decoding is performed client-side.
