Base64 encoding visualizer


 Link to the tool: Base64 encoding visualizer

Problem Statement - Understand the process of Base64 encoding step by step by visualizing the process easily.

Scenario - I was learning about Base64 encoding and could not find a visualizer or a simulator that breaks down the process and shows the value of the text at each step. The existing non-AI tools just provide the final base64 equivalent of the input string and do not display the values in the intermediate steps.

Doing this in AI tools like ChatGPT required entering a descriptive prompt to get the output in the desired format repeatedly.

Solution- Used Claude to build a simple webpage that dynamically shows the value of the input text at each step of base64 encoding.

Features:

  1. Dynamically shows value of the input at each step of base64 encoding
  2. Copy value at each step
  3. Clear all values
  4. Share the entire result as a card and text
  5. Give feedback

Hope you find the tool useful!
