Base64 is the classic escape hatch for configuration: it lets a value containing a newline, a quote, or a non-ASCII character travel through a system that only accepts safe text. The Base64 Encoder/Decoder applies it precisely — one value at a time, or the whole .env in batch.
Two features keep it dependable. First, everything goes through UTF-8, so accented characters and emoji survive a round trip instead of turning into mojibake. Second, a URL-safe mode switches the alphabet to - and _, for values destined to live inside URLs, tokens or query strings.
The tool runs fully in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and multi-line values are handled as complete units.
