Base64 decode

What Is Decoding?

In simple words, decoding converts an encoded string into a human-readable format or any useful format for subsequent operations. The process converts the encoded data and files into their original form, deconstructing the encoded string.

The program or the individual that converts the encoded string into a human-readable format is called a decoder.

Base64 decoding is the reverse operation of the Base64 encoding process. 

To decode the Base64 encoded string. Perform the following steps.

• Remove any padding characters from the end of the Base64 encoded string.
• Translate each Base64 character back to its representation of six-bit binary numbers.
• Convert the bits into byte-sized (eight-bits) chunks.
•  Translate the data back to its original format.

To decode the data by using the Base64 decoding scheme. Perform the following steps.

• Open the Online Base64 Decode tool. 
• You can either copy and paste the data, use the "Load from URL" option, or upload it using the "Browse" option.
• After uploading the data, click on the "Base64 Decode" button.
• The tool will convert the provided data into Base64 decoded format.
• Please copy the resulting data and paste it into the desired location.
• You can encode the data using the same tool or using our Base64 Encode tool.

Checking the results by using the sample data is beneficial. It shows you the output and removes the ambiguity that you may have related to the tool.

To use that option, do the following steps.

• Click on the "Load Sample Data" button. 
• A sample data will appear as "R3JlZXRpbmcgYnkgdXJsLWRlY29kZS5jb20=" in the above section.
• Click on the "Base64 Decode" button.
• The tool will perform the Base64 decoding scheme and provide the result in that Greeting by url-decode.com form.

Note: We do not keep a copy of the resulting Base64 decoded form. Therefore, please copy the resulting Base64 decoded format, paste it to the desired location for future use if you are happy, and be satisfied with the results.
