Base64 Encoder/Decoder

Base64 Encoder/Decoder Extension

Description
This is a browser extension that encodes and decodes media to and from Base64. It was created to help developers who want to use Base64 data strings instead of image or audio files, but the user interface is simple enough for anyone to use. Don't worry! This also supports encoding and decoding text strings. It is much faster and more convenient to use this extension rather than uploading your local files to a server for processing.

**Please note**
1. This project is limited to converting media supported by the Base64 standard
2. Large files will take several seconds to process
3. This extension stores data in the following way:
- It saves the last entered base64 string so the user does not need to
re-enter it when the extension opens back up
- The string is stored on the **user's computer** using the
chrome.storage API
