About this extension
Base64 Encoder/Decoder Extension

Description
Made for developers by a developer. This is a browser extension that encodes and decodes media to and from Base64. It was created to help developers who want
to use Base64 data strings instead of image or audio files, but the user interface is simple enough for anyone to use. It is much faster and more convenient to use this extension rather than uploading your local files to a server.

EDIT: Can only convert FROM Base64 due to Firefox limitations I am currently working to circumvent.

**Please note**
1. This project is limited to converting media supported by the Base64 standard
2. Large files will take several seconds to process.
3. This extension does not store any of your data for any reason.

Developer comments
Right now I'm looking into storing previous data in LocalStorage so users don't lose info when they close the extension. This feature should be added soon.

.tiff cannot display on <canvas> due to browser limitations (IIRC). This will not be fixed until possible.

None of your data is uploaded or stored anywhere, thus this extension does not have or need a Privacy Policy.

Source code is linked in the description.</canvas>
