📊 Base64 Decoder

🛡️ What is Base64 Decoding?

Base64 decoding is the reverse process of Base64 encoding, converting Base64-encoded text back to its original format. This is essential for retrieving data that was encoded for safe transmission or storage in text-based systems.

📋 How to Use This Base64 Decoder:

• Input Base64: Paste Base64 encoded text into the input field
• Decode: Click "Decode from Base64" button
• Copy Result: Use the copy button to save your decoded text
• Clear Data: Use clear button to reset the tool

🔧 Common Use Cases:

• Email Processing: Decode MIME email attachments
• Web Development: Extract data from data URLs
• API Responses: Decode binary data from JSON APIs
• Configuration Files: Extract binary data from configs
• Database Retrieval: Decode stored binary data
• File Recovery: Restore files from Base64 format

🔍 Base64 Format Recognition:

• Valid Characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, / and = for padding
• Length: Always divisible by 4 (with padding)
• Padding: Ends with 0, 1, or 2 '=' characters
• No Spaces: Valid Base64 has no whitespace

⚡ Decoder Features:

• Error Detection: Identifies invalid Base64 format
• UTF-8 Support: Properly handles Unicode characters
• Real-time: Instant decoding as you type
• Size Calculation: Shows original vs encoded size

⚠️ Troubleshooting:

• Ensure input contains only valid Base64 characters
• Check for proper padding (= characters at end)
• Remove any line breaks or spaces from input
• Verify the data was properly encoded originally
