Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding used for?

Base64 is used to represent binary data as printable ASCII text — common in email attachments (MIME), data URIs for inline images in CSS/HTML, JWT authentication tokens, and API data transfer.

Does Base64 encoding encrypt my data?

No. Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption. It is easily reversible by anyone with the encoded string. Never use Base64 to protect sensitive data — use proper encryption instead.

Can the time calculator handle timezone conversions?

The time calculator performs arithmetic on durations (hours, minutes, seconds). For timezone-aware conversions between specific times in different zones, use the dedicated timezone converter tool.
