Base64 Decoder
Ever found yourself staring at a jumble of characters that look like they belong in a secret code? That’s Base64 for you! Whether you’re debugging a pesky API response, decoding an email attachment, or just curious about what’s hidden in that encoded string, this Base64 Decoder has got your back. Simply paste your Base64-encoded text, hit decode, and voilà—your secret message is revealed. No tech wizardry required. It’s fast, simple, and ready to make your life a little less cryptic.
Paste your Base64-encoded string below to decode it.
How It Works
Base64 is a way to encode binary data into ASCII characters, making it easier to transmit over text-based systems like email or URLs. This tool reverses the process by taking your Base64-encoded string and converting it back into its original form. Think of it like translating a foreign language—except the language is a string of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Here’s a simple way to understand it:
Base64 Encoded String → Decode → Original Text
The tool uses a built-in JavaScript function to handle the decoding, so you don’t have to worry about the nitty-gritty details. Just paste, click, and see the magic happen!
