zippydevtoolsBase64 is encoding, not encryption
Base64 makes binary or text data safe to carry in transport fields, config values, and payloads that expect printable characters.
Anyone with the value can decode it, so Base64 alone does not protect secrets.
Useful debugging workflow
Decode the Base64 value, inspect whether the output is plain text, JSON, or token-like content, then move to a JSON formatter or JWT decoder if needed.
If the output is unreadable binary, the value may represent a file or compressed data rather than human-readable text.
Security caveats
Do not paste production secrets into tools unless your own data policy allows it.
If a system says a value is encrypted, Base64 decoding may only reveal an encrypted blob, not the original plaintext.
