What is Base32 used for?

Base32 is used for encoding binary data in a case-insensitive way, commonly in secret keys for 2FA apps and DNS hostnames.

What is Base58 used for?

Base58 is used in cryptocurrency addresses (Bitcoin, IPFS) because it avoids confusing characters like 0/O and I/l.

Is this secure for sensitive data?

Base encoding is for data representation, not encryption. It does not provide security by itself.

Currently, this tool encodes text strings. For file encoding, convert file contents to text first.

Base32/Base58 Encoder & Decoder

Encode and decode text using Base32 and Base58 encoding schemes.

Encoding Type

Text to Encode

Encoded Result

Base32

Uses 32 characters (A-Z, 2-7). Case-insensitive. Common in 2FA apps and TOTP tokens.

Base58

Uses 58 characters (no 0, O, I, l). Used in Bitcoin addresses and IPFS hashes.

Base64

Uses 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). Common for encoding binary data in text.

Hex

Uses 16 characters (0-9, A-F). Common for representing binary data and color codes.

What is this tool?

Base32 and Base58 are encoding schemes that represent binary data as text strings. Base32 uses 32 characters (A-Z, 2-7) and is case-insensitive. Base58 uses 58 characters (excluding 0, O, I, l) and is commonly used in Bitcoin addresses.

How to use this tool?

1. Select encoding type (Base32 or Base58) 2. Choose encode or decode mode 3. Enter your text or encoded string 4. Click "Process" to convert 5. Copy the result 6. Use for your application needs
