Base64 compared with other binary-to-text encodings

Encoding Alphabet size Overhead Typical use
Hex (Base16) 16 +100% Hashes, debugging, colours
Base32 32 +60% TOTP secrets, case-insensitive IDs
Base58 58 +37% Bitcoin addresses (no 0/O/I/l confusion)
Base64 64 +33% E-mail, data URIs, JSON, JWT
Ascii85 / Base85 85 +25% PDF, PostScript, Git binary patches
Uuencode 64 +35% (+ line overhead) Legacy Usenet / e-mail

Base64 wins in practice because its alphabet survives almost every system, the 3-to-4 ratio is easy to implement, and every language ships it.
