These buttons share the page link, not your input.
Want to include your text?
Your current input will be stored in the link after the # symbol, not uploaded to HandyBrowserTools. Anyone with this link can read that text. If you send or post it, the service you choose also receives the link. Do not include passwords or private information.
Frequently asked questions
Is Base64 encryption?
No, Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it. Never use Base64 alone to protect secrets.
Does this handle emoji and non-English text?
Yes. Text is converted through UTF-8 before encoding, so all Unicode characters round-trip correctly.
Can I decode URL-safe Base64?
Yes, the '-' and '_' characters used in URL-safe Base64 (and missing padding) are handled automatically when decoding.
