You can base64 encode and decode easily.
decode file: base64 -d "file"
decode string: echo "string-in-base64" | base64 -d
encode string: echo "string" | base64
encode file: cat file.zip | base64 > file.zip_base64
$ echo "hello" | base64
aGVsbG8K
$ echo "aGVsbG8K" | base64 -d
hello

apparently one of the quotes is missing. Base64 format is designed exactly to post or get binary data on ascii text-only boards or mailers.
decode file: base64 -d "file"
decode string: echo "string-in-base64" | base64 -d
encode string: echo "string" | base64
encode file: cat file.zip | base64 > file.zip_base64
$ echo "hello" | base64
aGVsbG8K
$ echo "aGVsbG8K" | base64 -d
hello
