How it works
How it works
Base32 uses a 32‑character alphabet (A–Z, 2–7) and groups data into 5‑bit chunks. Every 5 bytes (40 bits) are encoded as 8 characters.
- Padding with
=yields output length divisible by 8. - RFC 4648 defines variants (Crockford, no padding, lowercase); this tool implements the standard alphabet with padding.
- Text is converted to UTF‑8 bytes before encoding; decoding reverses to text.
Privacy & Security
All conversion is local.
