Decode Base64 to Text

Use this when you have a Base64 string, for example from an email header, token or config file, and want to see what it says.

Steps
  1. Choose Decode.
  2. Paste the Base64 string.
  3. Read the decoded text.
  4. Copy it if you need it.
Good to know
  • Standard and URL-safe Base64 both work, and so does a data: URL.
  • If the bytes are a file rather than text, such as an image or PDF, you get a download instead of text.
  • Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. Anyone can decode it.
