This service is a simple base64 convertor. It can convert your text to its base64 representation by clicking the encode button. The decode button can be used to conversion from base64 to common ASCII representation.
Base64 encoding converts 3 uncoded bytes into 4 encoded ASCII characters. So that the encoding result depends on their position in the three-octet group in the text. If there are less than 3 bytes, the equal sing is used as padding.
There are some modified base64 encoding. They differ from native base64 in some ways, mainly it means substitution of some characters. These modified versions was primary used for URLs, filenames, regexps and XML identifiers.
I found it useful when I tries to check e-mail headers or something similar. And after that, I released this service on the net.

New line is a charater, too. However on Windows machines, there is also a carriage return character before a line feed character. The line feed is is used as new line character on UNIX and other operating systems.
