About Base58 Encoder/Decoder

Encode and decode Base58, the alphabet used by Bitcoin addresses and many other systems. Base58 omits easily confused characters (0, O, I, l) so values are safer to copy by hand.

How to use

  1. Paste text or a Base58 string into the input.
  2. Choose encode or decode.
  3. Copy the converted output.

Frequently asked questions

Why use Base58 instead of Base64?
Base58 drops characters that look alike and symbols like + and /, making the output safer for hand-copying and use in URLs.
Is this Base58Check?
This converts raw Base58; Base58Check additionally appends a checksum, which is specific to formats like Bitcoin addresses.
