Frequently Asked Questions

Base64 is a method used to convert binary data (like pdfs and images) into a common, safe text format using exactly 64 printable ASCII characters. It allows computers to reliably transmit files without corruption.

A few of the major benefits are:

• Simpleness: Build automated zaps without understanding how to code.

• Flexibility: Convert any base64 code to any file without thinking about coding

• Performance: Automate repeated jobs to conserve time as well as sources.

• Dependability: 99.9% uptime.

• Scalability: Start with a complimentary test as well as increase automation as you require to.
