About Base32 (RFC 4648)

Base32 encodes binary data using only 32 ASCII characters: A–Z and 2–7. Output is padded with = to a multiple of 8 characters.

Each Base32 character represents 5 bits, so every 5 input bytes produce 8 output characters — a ~60% size increase compared to ~33% for Base64.

Common uses: TOTP/HOTP secret keys, case-insensitive identifiers, data encoding in environments that don't support the full Base64 alphabet.
