Fun Fact About This Tool
Base64 encoding increases the size of data by roughly 33 percent. This means a JSON file encoded in Base64 will always be larger than the original, even though it looks shorter and more mysterious at first glance.
Historical Context of This Tool
Base64 encoding was introduced decades ago as part of the MIME standard for sending binary data over systems that only supported text. Over time, it became widely used in APIs, authentication mechanisms, data transfer, and web technologies. As JSON emerged as the dominant data format for the internet, the need to easily decode Base64 back into JSON became essential for developers and analysts. This tool continues that legacy by providing a modern, fast, and privacy-focused solution for everyday encoding challenges.
