Hi,
please share some details of what you have got and what you have tried. Without that we won’t be able to help.
If you search for `base64` on [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org) you’ll find some nodes that can help with any such conversion - for example [https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-base64](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-base64)

If you don’t share any details of what you’ve tried, we can’t help. Just saying it doesn’t work without sharing anything means we can’t see what you are doing.
Share an example piece of data you have and what you expect it to convert to.

A link to another thread from two years ago doesn’t really tell us what your flow looks like or any details.
Sorry, until you share any details of what you’ve actually tried or what your data/messages look like, I won’t be able to help.

Feed the data you have into a debug node and paste the resulting debug output here. Without that we don’t know exactly what you are trying to deal with.
