# Encoding Tools
> Encode, decode, and hash data: Base64, URL, hex, HTML entities, and cryptographic hashing.
The Encoding Tools connector provides encoding/decoding operations (Base64, URL, hex, HTML, binary) and cryptographic hashing (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, HMAC).
No connection required. This utility connector works out of the box.
## Tools
### Encoding / Decoding
Text to encode.
Use URL-safe Base64 encoding.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "Hello, World!", "urlSafe": false }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==", "encoding": "base64" }
```
Base64 string to decode.
Input uses URL-safe encoding.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "encoded": "SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==", "urlSafe": false }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "Hello, World!", "encoding": "base64" }
```
Text to encode.
Encode all characters (not just special characters).
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "name=John Doe&city=New York" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "name%3DJohn%20Doe%26city%3DNew%20York", "encoding": "url" }
```
URL-encoded string to decode.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "encoded": "name%3DJohn%20Doe%26city%3DNew%20York" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "name=John Doe&city=New York", "encoding": "url" }
```
Text to encode.
Use uppercase hex characters.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "Hello", "uppercase": true }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "48656C6C6F", "encoding": "hex-upper" }
```
Hex string to decode.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "hex": "48656C6C6F" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "Hello", "encoding": "hex" }
```
Convert special characters to HTML entities.
Text to encode.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "Price: $5 & up
" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "<div class="alert">Price: $5 & up</div>", "encoding": "html" }
```
Convert HTML entities back to characters.
Text with HTML entities to decode.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "<p>Tom & Jerry</p>" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "Tom & Jerry
", "encoding": "html" }
```
Text to convert.
Separator between bytes.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "Hi", "separator": " " }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "01001000 01101001", "encoding": "binary" }
```
Binary string to convert.
Separator between bytes.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "binary": "01001000 01101001", "separator": " " }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "result": "Hi", "encoding": "binary" }
```
### Hashing
Text to hash.
Output encoding: `hex` or `base64`.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "user@example.com", "encoding": "hex" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "hash": "b58996c504c5638798eb6b511e6f49af", "algorithm": "md5", "encoding": "hex" }
```
Text to hash.
Output encoding: `hex` or `base64`.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "Hello, World!" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "hash": "943a702d06f34599aee1f8da8ef9f7296031d699", "algorithm": "sha1", "encoding": "hex" }
```
Text to hash.
Output encoding: `hex` or `base64`.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "sensitive-payload", "encoding": "hex" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "hash": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9b0c1d2e3f4a5b6c7d8e9f0a1b2", "algorithm": "sha256", "encoding": "hex" }
```
Text to hash.
Output encoding: `hex` or `base64`.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{ "text": "document-content", "encoding": "base64" }
```
**Example response:**
```json theme={null}
{ "hash": "kG7s1j3dF8xQ2mN5pR7tY9wB4vK6hL0...", "algorithm": "sha512", "encoding": "base64" }
```
Text to sign.
Secret key.
Hash algorithm: `sha1`, `sha256`, `sha512`, or `md5`.
Output encoding: `hex` or `base64`.
**Example request:**
```json theme={null}
{
"text": "{\"event\":\"order.created\",\"id\":123}",
"secret": "whsec_my_webhook_secret",
"algorithm": "sha256",
