How to use Base64 Splitter

Get the best out of Base64 Splitter: every option explained, a worked example, and what to check when the output is not what you expected.

Updated July 31, 2026

What it does

Slice massive base64 payloads into smaller chunks of custom byte limits. It runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your device.

Options

Every setting this tool exposes, straight from the code that validates it.

OptionTypeDefaultWhat it does
texttextBase64 string to split into fixed-size chunks. Required.
chunkSizewhole number64Accepts min 1. Defaults to 64.
outputFormatone of: lines, jsonlinesDefaults to lines.

Worked example

Run these settings on the tool page:

  • text: hello
  • chunkSize: 64
  • outputFormat: lines

You get:

hello

Getting the result you want

Most of the control here is in the options above. If the output is not what you expected, the setting to check first is chunkSize and outputFormat — those change the shape of the output rather than the input it accepts.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens / the output stays empty. text is required — the tool waits until you provide it.
  • A value is rejected. chunkSize accepts min 1. Anything outside that is refused rather than silently clamped.
  • It is slow on very large input. Everything runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device. Very large inputs are best split up, or run through the API where the work happens on our servers.

Automating it

The same logic is available as a REST endpoint, so you can run it from a script, a CI job or your own app.

Bash
curl "https://api.toolsxpo.com/v1/base64-splitter" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLSXPO_KEY"

It costs 1 credit per successful call. See the full endpoint reference, or try it in the playground.
