Base64 in C#: Convert.ToBase64String and FromBase64String C# provides Base64 encoding through the class with and . Since .NET 5, there are also -based methods for allocation-free encoding of large data. This guide covers both, plus Base64URL, async file encoding, and the gotchas that catch developers off guard. --- Basic encoding and decoding takes a and returns a . does the reverse — it takes a and returns a . Controlling line breaks (InsertLineBreaks) accepts an optional flag. By default, no line breaks are inserted. Use to add every 76 characters (useful for MIME encoding): --- Span<byte> API (.NET 5+) The methods allocate a new on every call.
