Radix64 turns text, photos, and files into Base64 — and back — entirely on your iPhone, with no upload and no account. It's built for developers who need a data URI for CSS or HTML, anyone decoding a token, or someone who just needs a quick, clean Base64 encode or decode without hunting through a cluttered web tool. Type or paste on either side and watch the other update instantly — encoding and decoding share one screen, so there's no mode to pick first. Import a photo or file to get its Base64 (or a ready-to-use data: URI), or paste Base64 back in to reconstruct and share the original file. — WHAT MAKES RADIX64 DIFFERENT — • One screen, both directions Type or paste on either side and the other updates instantly — there's no mode to pick first. • Standard and URL-safe Switch variants and choose whether to keep padding, so the output matches what you're pasting it into. • Data URI in one tap Wrap the result as a data: URI that's ready for CSS, HTML, and email. • Photos and files, not just text Import a photo or file to get its Base64, or paste Base64 back in to reconstruct and share the original file. • Recent history Your recent conversions stay within reach. • Nothing leaves your iPhone Every conversion runs on device, with no upload, no account, and no ads. — WHO IS RADIX64 FOR? — • Developers who need a data URI for CSS or HTML • Anyone decoding a token and checking what's inside • People who want a quick encode or decode without a cluttered web tool • Anyone who would rather not paste sensitive data into a website — PRICING — Included: live two-way text and Base64 conversion, standard and URL-safe variants with or without padding, one-tap Data URI wrapping, encoding photos and files to Base64 and decoding them back into a file, and recent conversion history.
