Base64 Decode

Decode Base64 encoded strings

How to use

1. Paste a Base64 string into the input box.
2. The decoded text appears instantly below.
3. Copy the result to use wherever you need the original content.

Why use this tool

• Instant decoding: Turn Base64 back into readable text the moment you paste it.
• Unicode-safe: Correctly decodes UTF-8, so emojis and accented characters survive intact.
• 100% private: Everything runs in your browser. Your data is never uploaded to a server, so it's safe for confidential content.

Frequently asked questions

Why does decoding fail?

The input may not be valid Base64 — check for missing characters, spaces, or that it isn't URL-safe Base64 that needs different handling.

Can I decode a Base64 image or file?

This tool decodes Base64 text. For images, use the Base64-to-Image tool, which rebuilds the picture from the encoded string.

Is my data private?

Yes. Decoding happens entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
