What is Base64 Decoding?

Base64 decoding is the process of converting Base64 encoded strings back to their original format. Base64 encoding represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation.

This decoder tool helps you reverse the encoding process, transforming Base64 strings back into readable text or binary data. It's commonly used when working with APIs, email systems, data URIs, and anywhere Base64 encoding is used to transmit data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Base64 decoding secure?

Yes, all decoding happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What happens if I enter invalid Base64?

If the input string is not valid Base64, the tool will display an error message. Make sure your input contains only valid Base64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, and =).

Can I decode large Base64 strings?

Yes, you can decode large strings. However, very large inputs (over 10MB) might temporarily slow down your browser during processing.

Is this tool free to use?

Absolutely! This Base64 decoder is completely free with no limitations, registration, or hidden costs.
