A LITTLE CONTEXT

About this tool

Decode standard padded or unpadded Base64 into readable UTF-8 text. Whitespace between encoded characters is ignored.

Binary data and invalid UTF-8 produce an error. URL-safe Base64 uses a different alphabet; the JWT Decoder handles that format for tokens.

GOOD TO KNOW

A couple of useful answers.

Can I paste Base64 across multiple lines?+

Yes. Whitespace is removed before the value is decoded.

Why does a valid Base64 file fail?+

Its bytes may represent an image or other binary file rather than UTF-8 text.
