How it works

1

Encode text or a file

Type UTF-8 text for a live uuencode, or drop a file up to 5 MB. Set the begin-line filename and Unix mode (default 644).

2

Copy or save the .uue

Copy the uuencode block or download a .uue file. Send to decode jumps to the decoder with the same payload.

3

Decode to a file

Paste a begin … end block. The tool reads the filename from the header and lets you download the binary. UTF-8 payloads show a short preview.

What is uuencode?

Uuencode maps binary bytes to a 64-character printable set and wraps them in begin/end lines with a filename and mode. This tool encodes text or files and decodes uuencode blocks back to downloads entirely in your browser.

Why use this tool

  • Classic uuencode begin/end format
  • Encode UTF-8 text live
  • Encode files up to 5 MB
  • Editable filename and Unix mode
  • Decode with header parsing and preview
  • Runs in the browser — files stay on device

Questions

What is uuencode?

Uuencode is a legacy Unix encoding that turns binary into printable ASCII with begin/end headers — once common for email attachments.

What does the mode number mean?

It is a Unix permission triad such as 644. This tool writes it into the begin line; it does not change local file permissions when downloading.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Encoding and decoding run in this tab. Easy24 does not receive the file.

Is there a daily limit?

The free plan allows 20 uses per day for file encode/decode actions, with files up to 5 MB.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the page and use it.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in the mobile browser.
