Common questions
What does a base64 decode tool do?
It turns a Base64 string back into normal text. You can also encode plain text into Base64 on the same page.
Is base64 decode the same as encryption?
No. Anyone can decode Base64. It only packs text so it is safe to paste in configs and emails.
When do I need a base64 decode step?
When an API, config file, or data URL gives you a Base64 string and you want to read the text inside.
Does this base64 decode tool upload my text?
No. Encode and decode run in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I base64 decode and encode on one page?
Yes. Switch between encode and decode, paste your input, and copy the result in one click.
