What is a Base64 Decoder?
A Base64 Decoder is a tool that converts a Base64-encoded string back into its original data format, which is typically plain text or binary data. Base64 is a method for encoding binary data into a limited set of ASCII characters, and a decoder is needed to reverse this process.
Why Use Our Base64 Decoder?
- Data Retrieval: To read data that has been transmitted or stored in a Base64 format, such as in an email or a data URL.
- Debugging: To inspect the contents of a Base64 string to ensure it contains the correct information.
- API Interaction: To decode data received from APIs that use Base64 to encode binary files or other data.
- Security: To analyze potentially malicious data that has been obfuscated using Base64 encoding.
