and thats says, 1 base64 digit = 6 binary digit = 2 hex digit so maybe i'm wrong and please correct me but i think the converter which was mentioned above is WRONG. so... any idea?
base64 encoding = 6 bits, hexadecimal encoding = 4 bits

so, 1 x base64 = 2 x hex .. but 2 x base64 = 3 x hex

the converter works fine

looks like for each attribute it adds another 2 base64 characters
