What is Base64 Decoding?
Base64 decoding is the process of converting Base64 encoded data back into its original format. This encoding scheme represents binary data using a set of 64 characters, making it safe for data transmission where certain special characters might cause issues.
Why Use Base64 Decoding?
- Safely decode encoded email attachments
- Extract embedded images from web applications
- Process API responses containing encoded data
- Decode data URLs in web development
How It Works
Our Base64 decoder works in three simple steps:
- Paste your Base64 encoded string into the input field
- Click the "Decode" button to process the data
- View your decoded result in readable format

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of Base64 encoded data can I decode?
- Plain text strings
- Image data (PNG, JPEG, GIF)
- PDF documents
- Binary data
Is Base64 decoding secure?
- No data is stored on our servers
- Processing happens in your browser
- Use HTTPS for secure data transmission
- Consider local tools for sensitive data
How can I identify Base64 encoded text?
- Contains only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, and = characters
- Length is divisible by 4
- May end with one or two = signs (padding)
- Often appears in data URLs starting with "data:"
What should I do if decoding fails?
- Verify the input is valid Base64 (check for missing padding)
- Remove any whitespace or line breaks
- Ensure the complete string is copied
- Check for URL-safe Base64 variants
