What is a b64 file?

A B64 file contains data encoded in Base64 format, a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data using 64 printable ASCII characters. Unlike compression formats, Base64 actually increases file size by approximately 33%, but it ensures that binary data can be safely transmitted through text-based systems that might otherwise corrupt binary information.

Base64 encoding is commonly used for email attachments, embedding binary data in XML or JSON, and transferring binary data through URL parameters. Its an essential format for web applications, ensuring that binary files like images can be embedded directly in HTML or CSS. When encoding files with Base64 using ezyZip, the binary content is converted to ASCII text that can be safely transferred through any text-based communication channel.
