FAQ
What's the difference between Base64 and Base58?
Base58 uses only 58 of Base64's characters, removing visually similar ones (0, O, I, l) and symbols (+, /). It's used in things like Bitcoin addresses to prevent misreading during manual entry.
How are leading zero bytes handled?
Leading zero bytes in the original data are represented as leading "1" characters in the Base58 output, following the standard Base58 encoding convention.
What happens if I enter an invalid Base58 string?
An error message appears if the input contains characters not used in Base58 (like 0, O, I, or l).
