How to Decode Base64

Decoding reverses Base64 encoding when the original data is represented by the supplied Base64 value and the expected character encoding is known.

Step-by-step

  1. Copy the Base64 value.
  2. Open a Base64 decoder.
  3. Paste the encoded input.
  4. Decode it.
  5. Inspect the resulting text or data.

Invalid Base64 input

Unexpected characters, damaged values, incorrect padding, or a value that is not actually Base64 can cause decoding errors.

Base64 and UTF-8

When encoded text contains non-ASCII characters, the original character encoding matters. A decoder needs to interpret the resulting bytes correctly.
