About the Base64 to Text
Both alphabets are accepted and missing padding is added automatically, which covers the JWT-style Base64URL you find in tokens.
The decoded bytes are interpreted as UTF-8. If the original data was a binary file rather than text, use the Base64 to file tool instead.
Questions people ask
Is your text uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your text never leaves your device. You can confirm it by opening your browser's network panel while the tool runs, or by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it is free, and there is no account, no sign-up and no watermark on the result. The project is funded by optional donations.
