Questions & answers

01

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Decoding happens locally in your browser, so the encoded values and their decoded content never leave your device.

02

Why does my string fail to decode?

The input is probably not valid Base64: check for missing padding, line breaks in the middle, or URL-safe variants that use - and _ instead of + and /.

03

Is Base64 Decode free to use?

Yes, Base64 Decode is completely free, with no sign-up and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
