About Base32 Encode

Base32 Encode is a free online tool that converts plain text into Base32-encoded format. Base32 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that uses a 32-character alphabet consisting of uppercase letters A through Z and digits 2 through 7. It is commonly used in applications where case-insensitive encoding is required, such as TOTP tokens for two-factor authentication, DNS records, and file systems that are not case-sensitive.

All encoding happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no data is ever sent to a server. Base32 encoding produces output that is about 60% larger than the input but is safe for use in case-insensitive contexts. The tool supports full Unicode and UTF-8 characters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base32 Encode? expand_more
Base32 Encode is a free online tool that converts plain text into Base32 format. Base32 uses a 32-character alphabet (A-Z and 2-7) to represent binary data, producing case-insensitive output that is safe for use in file names, DNS records, and authentication tokens.
What is the difference between Base32 and Base64? expand_more
Base32 uses 32 characters (A-Z, 2-7) while Base64 uses 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). Base32 output is about 20% larger than Base64 but is case-insensitive, making it ideal for contexts where case sensitivity matters like file systems, URLs, and TOTP tokens.
Is my data secure? expand_more
Yes. All encoding happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, ensuring your text remains completely private and secure.
Does it support Unicode? expand_more
Yes. The tool uses UTF-8 encoding internally, so it correctly handles text in any language including emojis and special characters before converting to Base32.
