  2. Click 'Decode Base64' to reveal the original text.
  3. Copy the decoded output to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Base64 not decoding?

Ensure the string uses valid Base64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, =). Remove any whitespace or line breaks if present.

Can I decode binary data?

This tool decodes to text. For binary data such as images, use a dedicated binary decoder or save the decoded bytes directly.

Does this support URL-safe Base64?

Yes. The decoder automatically handles both standard Base64 (+, /) and URL-safe Base64 (-, _) variants.
