Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It is commonly used when transferring data over channels that only support text.

Is Base64 a form of encryption?

No, Base64 is merely an encoding format and offers no security. Anyone can easily decode a Base64 string back to its original plaintext.
