What is Base64 Decoder?

Base64 Decoder is an online utility that converts RFC 4648 Base64 ASCII strings back into their original plain text or binary representation.

How Base64 Decoder Works

The decoder maps 4-character Base64 blocks back into 3 original 8-bit bytes, removing padding characters and reconstructing the original byte sequence via `TextDecoder('utf-8')`.
