Base64Anywhere Overview
What is Base64Anywhere? Base64Anywhere is an application and OSX service that allows users to encode files and text as Base64 or decode from Base64 with a right-click context menu in Finder, IDEs, text editors, and terminals. It enables users to encode whole files, including JPGs/PNGs, with a single click from Finder and format base64 encoded images for inclusion in CSS or web pages. The app also allows users to decode Base64 encoded data, showing binary data in Hex with the option of revealing printable characters, which is useful for reverse engineering Base64 encoded data structures. Additionally, when decoding Base64 images, the data is recognized as an image and displayed as such.
1. Base64Anywhere is a OSX service and application that allows you to encode files from a right click context menu in Finder, as well as allowing you to encode text as Base64 or decode from Base64 with a right click from IDE's, text editor's, terminals, etc.
2. * Encode or Decode text inline if you application supports it (text editors, programming IDE's, etc) or you can send the text to the Base64 interface where it will be displayed with its encoded and unencoded representations.
3. * Base64 encodes whole files (including JPGs/PNGs/etc) with a single click from finder, and easily formats base64 encoded images for inclusion in CSS or web pages.
4. * When decoding Base64 encoded data, binary data will be shown in Hex, with the option of revealing printable characters.
5. * When decoding Base64 images, the data will be recognized as an image and instead of seeing the decoded bytes, an image will be displayed.
6. There are many Base64 encoders/decoders, but Base64Anywhere is about allowing you do your encoding or decoding contextually.
7. Wherever you see a file or text that needs encoding or decoding, you can simply select and right click to perform the operation you need.
8. This is very handy for reverse engineering Base64 encoded data structures.

Compactible OS list:Yes. The app is 100 percent (100%) safe to download and Install. Our download links are from safe sources and are frequently virus scanned to protect you
Super simple and useful tool.
Thiis app is perfect. I needed to test that some base64 encoded pdfs were correct when downloading them from an API. This made doing that super easy.
It just does what I'd expected
I was just about to write my own Service for decoding bas64 text, but then thought: Maybe someone else already did that. And here we are. It's even free! And works on older PC versions, too. It can hardly get any better. Thank you so much for the effort to put it out here, Mr. Bowers.
pretty good, but room for improvement
if you are pimariily needing to decode base64 strings this is great. if you are tryting to encode strngs... not so good. it assumes whatever file you open is base64 encoded. It would be helpful if the developer could add some button that will put the content of the encoded text to the plain text. I did not like that I could not type in the plain text filed and have that get encoded. I was only allowed to copy/paste strings into the boxes
Can't handle big files, etc.
I'm dragging and dropping in a very large file and it seems like nothing happens. I seem to be able to select text in the top box but there's no ay to clear it so when I drop in new data, I can't tell if anything changed without looking at the text myself. I really just want to select a base64 file and then save it, without needing to see any of it, to a binary file. This app didn't do anything I needed.
