Base32 Encoder/Decoder

What is Base32 Encoding?

Base32 encodes binary data using 32 ASCII characters (A-Z and 2-7). It is similar to Base64 but uses a smaller, case-insensitive alphabet, making it useful for systems that are not case-sensitive.

Key Features

• Encode text to Base32
• Decode Base32 back to text
• RFC 4648 compliant
• Real-time processing

How to Use

1. Enter text or Base32 string
2. Select Encode or Decode mode
3. View the result instantly

FAQs

• When to use Base32 vs Base64?
  Base32 for case-insensitive systems, file names, or when avoiding confusing characters. Base64 for more compact encoding.
• What are the = signs?
  Padding characters to make the output length a multiple of 8.
