About Base32 Encode File

Base32 Encode File is a free online tool that converts any file into its Base32-encoded string representation. Base32 encoding uses a 32-character alphabet (A-Z and 2-7) to represent binary data, producing case-insensitive output that is safe for file names, DNS records, and systems that do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters.

All file processing happens entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded to any server. The tool reads the file locally using the FileReader API and applies Base32 encoding to the raw bytes. It works with any file type including images, documents, text files, and binary data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base32 Encode File? expand_more
Base32 Encode File is a free online tool that converts any file into a Base32-encoded string. Unlike Base64, Base32 output uses only uppercase letters and digits 2-7, making it case-insensitive and safe for use in file systems, URLs, and DNS records.
What file types are supported? expand_more
All file types are supported including images, documents, text files, audio, video, and any binary format. The tool reads the raw bytes of the file and encodes them directly to Base32.
Is my file secure? expand_more
Yes. All file processing happens entirely in your browser using the FileReader API. Your files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
How does Base32 file encoding differ from Base64? expand_more
Base32 produces output that is about 20% larger than Base64 but uses only 32 characters (A-Z, 2-7) instead of 64. This makes Base32 case-insensitive, which is important for file systems and DNS records. Base64 is more space-efficient but case-sensitive.
