About Base64 Decoding
Base64 decoding converts a Base64 encoded string back to its original binary or text data. Base64 encoding is commonly used to transmit binary data over text-based protocols like email or HTTP.
- Base64 encodes 3 bytes into 4 ASCII characters
- Decoding reduces size by approximately 33%
- Padding characters (=) indicate incomplete byte groups
- Safe for binary data embedded in JSON, XML, or URLs
- All processing happens locally in your browser
