What is Uuencode Encoding

Uuencoding is a type of binary-to-text encoding that originated in the 1980s Unix program uuencode written by Mary Ann Horton at UC Berkeley for encoding binary data for transmission in email systems. Uuencoded files can be sent across text-only protocols, allowing binary data such as software, pictures, and video to be sent over e-mail, IRC, or newsgroups.

What is Uuencode Decoding

Decoding is necessary to convert uuencoded data back to its binary representation. uuencoder, as you may know, translates binary data to ASCII for transmission. The uudecoder, on the other hand, accepts data in ASCII format and converts it to binary format.

Encoding and decoding uuencode can be time-consuming, especially when you don’t have enough knowledge about uuencode encoding and decoding. Since there is a lot of complexity and some sort of learning curve is involved, most of the users end up using an online uuencode encoder and decoder tool to get the job done as soon as possible.

We have so many online tools available to deal with encoding and decoding of uuencode, but not every online tool gives an accurate result and that is why we have created this online uuencode encoder and decoder tool. It is a very simple and easy-to-use tool. Most important thing is that it is beginner-friendly.

How to Use Uuencode Encoder and Decoder Tool

• As you can see, we have 2 input fields and 1 dropdown. For instance, you want to encode a string with uuencode.
• From the dropdown, select Encode and in the first input field, enter a string.
• Instantly, the tool will encode the string with uuencode and display the result in the second input field.
