About This Tool

Base64 encoding is a widely used method for converting binary or text data into ASCII characters, making it safe for transmission in URLs, API headers, email attachments, and configuration values. Our free online JSON Base64 encoder and decoder handles both directions — encode valid JSON to a Base64 string, or decode a Base64 string back to formatted JSON. The tool validates JSON on both encode and decode operations, ensuring data integrity. It supports full Unicode through proper UTF-8 encoding, so emojis, accented characters, and non-Latin scripts all work correctly. Simply paste your JSON or Base64 string, select the direction, and get instant results. Essential for working with OAuth tokens, API authentication headers, data embedding, and configuration management. Works entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device.

How to Use

  1. Select Encode or Decode mode using the toggle above
  2. Paste your JSON (to encode) or Base64 string (to decode)
  3. Click Encode/Decode to see the result instantly
