Decode Base64 strings back to readable text instantly with our free online tool.

What is Base64 Decoding?

Base64 decoding is the process of converting a Base64-encoded string back into its original binary or text form. Base64 encoding is primarily used to safely transmit binary data over mediums that are designed to handle text, such as email or HTTP URLs. While encoding increases data size, decoding reverses this process, restoring the original data.

This process is crucial when you receive data that has been Base64 encoded and you need to access its original content. For instance, images embedded directly into web pages (data URIs) or email attachments are often Base64 encoded, requiring decoding to be properly displayed or used.
