Encoding & Decoding

Encode and decode Base64, URLs, HTML entities, JWTs, and more.

20 tools

Encoding transforms data into a specific format for safe transmission, storage, or display. Developers run into encoding constantly — Base64 for embedding binary data in JSON or HTML, URL encoding for query parameters, HTML entity encoding to prevent XSS, and JWT decoding to inspect authentication tokens. This collection gives you instant access to all major encoding and decoding operations. Paste your input, get your output, copy it, and move on. Tools cover Base64 (standard and URL-safe), URL percent-encoding, HTML entities, Unicode escaping, JWT inspection, and more. Every conversion happens client-side, which matters when you're decoding JWTs or other sensitive tokens — your data stays on your machine.

About Encoding & Decoding

Encode and decode Base64, URLs, HTML entities, JWTs, and more. All tools in this category run entirely in your browser with no server-side processing. Your data stays on your device.

Each tool is designed for speed and simplicity. Paste your input, configure options if needed, and copy the result with one click. No sign-up, no installation, no limitations.

Questions

What is the difference between encoding and encryption?
Encoding transforms data into a different format for compatibility (like Base64), and is fully reversible by anyone. Encryption scrambles data so only someone with the correct key can read it.
Why do I need to URL-encode query parameters?
URLs can only contain certain characters. Special characters like spaces, ampersands, and equals signs must be percent-encoded so they're interpreted as data rather than URL structure.
Can I decode JWTs safely in the browser?
Yes. Our JWT decoder runs entirely client-side, so your token never leaves your device. This is the safest way to inspect tokens compared to pasting them into third-party websites.
