Any Real Life Applications of Base Conversions?

Ive seen several binary to decimal,decimal to binary codes,they are all good,but thats not my point here.Ive tried using google but the answers are more for people who already have a deep knowledge of base conversations.Can anyone state a situation where it will be neccessary to convert bases in any programming language?if that situation can be solved without base conversions then your point might be pointless.all suggestions are welcome!

People who work with things related to IPv4 can find conversations between bases very useful. It's the only thing that comes to mind, lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4

Higher base notation might require less byte storage - a thing to consider in some applications. Also, cryptography perhaps?

This is an example of practical usage of base convention. https://code.sololearn.com/cSInwALQoWh2/?ref=app
