What is Base64 Decode?
Base64 decoding reconstructs the original text or binary that was previously encoded so you can verify webhook payloads, debug API responses, or sanitize analytics parameters. Because decoding happens entirely in the browser, confidential tokens stay private while you troubleshoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if a string is Base64?
Look for characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, and optional = padding. The decoder flags invalid characters automatically so you can fix them.
Can I decode Base64URL values?
Yes. Replace - with + and _ with / (or use URL Decode first) before pasting the string into the decoder.
What if padding is missing?
Add = or == so the length is divisible by four characters. The decoder will then reconstruct bytes correctly.
Does decoding ever upload data?
Never. Everything runs locally so you can inspect secrets, JWTs, or attachments safely.
Can I download decoded binary?
Yes. Use the download option to save the decoded payload for logs or follow-up analysis.
