It's a really great and useful app, but i cannot understand how it's base-64, if: A-Z=26 characters, a-z=26 chars, 0-9=10 chars, ("+", "/", "=")=3 chars, SUM=65 chars. Am i missing something? I guess the program behaves like a disk/hex editor, but instead of presenting the data in binary or hexadecimal, it presents it in base-64 in a particular encoding. If so, i imagine this could work for ANY file and not just images and music files. I could also suggest the usage of unicode chars, so that the app could take advantage of more chars and have a base-128 encoding, making the resulting text more compact. Please, answer if i am right on these, i would like to know more about it. Thanks and keep up the good work, starter programmers like me gotta love this site.

good

'=' is not considered part of the Base64 alphabet; it is used for padding only. This service provides Base64 encoding as it is usable in a lot of web applications, e.g. embedded HTML objects, email headers, etc.

There is a lot of material about this online as well as in books :-)

For those looking to use SVG's in CSS after converting the SVG to base64 you do something like this:

.logo {
background: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,PD94bWwgd...);
}

your data is nice. Please tell me that how the key is generated?

Awesome tool! Had some trouble finding the 'download file' button after entering in a base64 string and clicking 'Convert'. Took me a few clicks to realize the button was appearing WAY DOWN there...
Would be nice if it was moved up, or it was made clear to expect the button down there.

If you copy an encoded image (I used svg) in a sass file (as source for a background image), you get the warning below:

DEPRECATION WARNING on line 192, column 31 of /Users/x/Desktop/Projekte/Eidsecondos/wp-content/themes/baylys-child/style.scss:
Unescaped multiline strings are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Sass.
To include a newline in a string, use "\a" or "\a " as in CSS.

---
Would be nice if there was an update to handle this!

The base64 string must be url encoded for this to work as a css background image.

svg to base64 encoded data is not displaying in Outlook 2016.Appriciate any help.

Awesome app!
