The encoder converts the text you paste into a Base32 string using the common alphabet of letters A to Z and digits 2 to 7. This makes the result easier to read aloud or type by hand than many denser encodings.
Use Base32 when the encoded value may pass through systems that ignore case or when people need to copy it manually. This page encodes existing text only, so it does not create random secrets or validate whether a value is safe for authentication.
Common questions and answers about this topic.
Base32 encoding represents binary data using 32 ASCII characters (A-Z and 2-7). It is useful when case-insensitive encoding is needed.
Base32 is case-insensitive and avoids ambiguous characters, making it ideal for manual entry and systems that don't preserve case. Base64 is more space-efficient.
No, Base32 encoding is performed entirely in your browser. Your input text is encoded locally with JavaScript and never transmitted anywhere.
