The Base64 Decode utility is the perfect companion to our encoder. It allows you to reverse the Base64 encoding process, converting a Base64 string back into its original, readable format. This is essential when you receive Base64-encoded data from an API, a data file, or a URL, and need to see the underlying information.
Just paste the Base64 string into the input field, and our utility will instantly perform the decoding, handling any necessary character conversions. It's a quick and reliable way to work with encoded data without needing complex software.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need to decode Base64?
You often need to decode Base64 when working with web services (APIs), email attachments, or embedded data in files like XML or JSON. It allows you to retrieve the original data, which could be anything from a simple text string to a JSON object.
What does 'Invalid Base64' error mean?
This error occurs if the input string contains characters that are not part of the Base64 character set (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, =) or if its length is not a multiple of 4. Double-check that you have copied the entire, unmodified Base64 string.
