Yes, you can drag and drop or select files to encode them to Base64. This works with any file type including images, PDFs, and documents.
URL-safe Base64 replaces + with - and / with _ to make the encoded string safe for use in URLs without additional encoding.
Decode always outputs text, so it's reliable for Base64 that represents text. If you encoded a binary file like an image, decoding it here will show the raw bytes as text rather than let you re-download the file - encode is the direction to use for files.
