Base32 Encode FAQ

Can I use this tool to encode and decode 2FA secrets?

Yes, the tool supports both encode and decode modes specifically for 2FA/TOTP secrets. Paste a Base32-encoded secret into the decoder to retrieve the original secret, which you should keep secure and never share publicly.

Why does Base32 only use uppercase letters and the numbers 2-7?

Base32 uses only uppercase letters A-Z and numbers 2-7 to avoid confusion. It deliberately excludes 0, 1, 8, and 9 because these characters can be easily mistaken for one another when read manually.

How much larger will my encoded string be compared to the original text?

Base32 encoded strings are approximately 60% larger than the original input. This size increase is the trade-off for using a character set that is safe for manual entry and avoids ambiguous symbols.

Does the EasyKit Base32 tool process my data on a server?

No, all processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, which helps keep your input private and secure.
