What is Base85 Encoder Decoder

The Base85 Encoder/Decoder (also known as Ascii85 or Z85) encodes binary data using an 85-character printable ASCII alphabet. It achieves approximately 80% efficiency (every 4 bytes of input become 5 characters of output), which is more compact than Base64. The tool supports multiple Base85 variants including RFC 1924 (used in IPv6) and Z85 (used in ZeroMQ).
