Base64 encoder 1.0.0.0
Windows Phone users who are looking for a means of encrypting written content and securing photos they want to share with other people can check out Base64 encoder, a utility tailored for exactly this type of jobs.
Unattractive, but effective GUI
The application has a relatively plain and dull appearance that was designed to ave functionality as the main focus, instead of offering any trace of visually appealing graphics.
The content is kept well organized, while the structuring of the commands and functions is pretty much intuitive, as they are hosted, for the most part, in the main menu at the bottom of the screen, some options residing in the drop-down menus hosted inside the encoder screens.
Quick text encryption and decryption, with sharing abilities
Base64 encoder enables you to easily type in the content you wan to protect, offering a well-sized input field. The results area is placed right under the source text box, so you will not have to look for the output in other sections of the app.
As soon as you type or paste the text to be processed, you can start the operation by tapping the corresponding button from the main menu. In an instant the result will appear and if you press the envelope icon, the ciphered content is made ready to be sent via email.
Encode images and transfer the code to the recipient on the go
With the help of this application you have the possibility to encrypt digital images as well, by visiting the special area of Base64 encoder where this feature is waiting to be put to good use.
After loading the picture for the local storage, you can start the encryption in an identical manner with the text handling, but the duration of this far more lengthy.
Vividly colored and high-resolution pics will take minutes to encode and the output will go well beyond the 64K limit for sending it out inside an email message. Nonetheless, after patiently waiting for the encryption to complete, you can select the code in several parts and transfer it.
