&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3qqw8cy2ujhoa8vpe8yj.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3qqw8cy2ujhoa8vpe8yj.jpg" alt=" " width="720" height="1600"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Link to the tool: &lt;a href="https://base64-encoding-simulator.onrender.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Base64 encoding visualizer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Problem Statement - Understand the process of Base64 encoding step by step by visualizing the process easily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doing this in AI tools like ChatGPT required entering a descriptive prompt to get the output in the desired format repeatedly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Solution- Used Claude to build a simple webpage that dynamically shows the value of the input text at each step of base64 encoding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Features:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dynamically shows value of the input at each step of base64 encoding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy value at each step&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clear all values&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Share the entire result as a card and text&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Give feedback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope you find the tool useful!&lt;/p&gt;
