Base64 Decode

Decodes Base64 back to the original UTF-8 text. Handles Unicode correctly.

Runs entirely in your browser

How it works

Text encoding uses the browser's built-in btoa and atob functions with proper UTF-8 handling. File reading uses the FileReader API — entirely within your browser, with no upload.

Your data stays local

All encoding and decoding happens inside your browser tab. The text or file you provide is never sent to a server — it stays entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What if the Base64 string is padded or unpadded?

The tool handles both padded (with =) and unpadded Base64 automatically.

Can I decode binary data?

If the original data was binary (not text), the decoded output may look garbled. Use 'File to Base64' for binary files.

Is this safe to use for sensitive data?

Yes — decoding happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
