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.
