Introduction
The Base64 File Converter plugin provides seamless file encoding and decoding capabilities for Bubble applications.
It allows developers to convert files to Base64 strings and decode Base64 strings back to files, enabling efficient file handling, storage, and transmission within your app.
The plugin offers both server-side actions for workflows and a client-side element for real-time conversions, giving you complete flexibility in how you handle file data.
The plugin is designed to be simple, reliable, and performant, supporting:
- Server-side encoding and decoding actions
- Client-side element with exposed states
- Automatic MIME type detection
- Seamless integration with Bubble's file system
