How to use Base62 Encoder / Decoder

Choose Encode or Decode and enter your text. Encoding treats the UTF-8 bytes as one big number rendered in Base62; decoding reverses it back to the original text.

Frequently asked questions

Why use Base62 instead of Base64?

Base62 avoids the +, / and = characters, so its output is fully alphanumeric and safe to drop into URLs, filenames and IDs without escaping.

How are leading zero bytes handled?

Each leading zero byte is preserved as a leading '0' character so byte-exact round-trips work.

Where is Base62 used?

URL shorteners, short unique IDs, and anywhere a compact human-typable token is needed.
