Encode vs Decode
Encode converts raw text or a binary file into a Base64 string safe for transport in JSON, URLs, or email. Decode reverses that — recovering the original text, image, or binary file from a Base64 payload.

Variants
- Standard — uses
+and/, padded with=. Default for most APIs and data URIs. - URL-safe — replaces
+→-and/→_, no padding. Safe for query strings and JWT tokens. - MIME — inserts a line break every 76 characters. Required by email (RFC 2045) and some legacy systems.
