How Base64 Encoding Works

Base64 encoding converts binary data (8-bit bytes) into ASCII characters (6-bit bytes). It is commonly used to transfer data over media that are designed to deal with textual data, ensuring that the data remains intact without modification during transport.

Example: Converting "Man" to Base64
