Usage

Encoding Schemes

!ASCII85 (Adobe): uses 85 printable ASCII characters, wrapped with <~ and ~>, commonly used in PDF and PostScript.Z85 (ZeroMQ): variant used by ZeroMQ, requires input length to be a multiple of 4.

Steps

Select encoding scheme → Enter text → Click "Encode" or "Decode" → Copy result. ASCII85 encoding automatically adds <~ ~> delimiters.

Notes

Z85 requires input length to be strictly a multiple of 4 (encoding) or 5 (decoding). ASCII85 decoding automatically removes <~ ~> delimiters and whitespace.
