Local-only Base64 decoder

Browser-only utility

Base64 Encoder & Decoder

Encode and decode Base64 strings quickly in your browser. Paste a value, reuse an output as the next input, and inspect detected URLs without sending anything to a server.

Base64 Tools

Decode Base64 values or encode plain text. Results can be sent back into the input for repeated conversions.

Decode Base64

Paste a Base64 value to convert it into readable text.

Encode to Base64

Enter plain text to create a Base64 encoded value.

What these tools do

This page converts Base64-encoded strings into readable text and converts plain text into Base64. Paste a Base64 value or text into the relevant input field to see the output immediately.

If the decoded result is a web address, the tool shows a URL detection box with a button to open it in a new tab. Links never open automatically.

All conversion happens in the browser. The text you enter is not sent to a server.

How to use it

  1. Choose the decoder or encoder section.
  2. Paste Base64 or plain text into the matching input field.
  3. The output appears automatically.
  4. Click Use result as input when you need repeated encoding or decoding.
  5. If decoded output is a URL, open it only after checking it.
  6. Click Clear to start again.

Clipboard reading may require browser permission. If access is denied, paste the value manually.

Privacy and local processing

These tools do not send Base64 input, plain text, or output to a server. Conversion runs only in your browser.

Clipboard reading is attempted only after you click the import button. The site does not read your clipboard on page load.

FAQ

Is Base64 encryption?

No. Base64 is an encoding format, not encryption. Anyone can decode it, so it should not be used to protect secrets.

Is my input sent to a server?

No. These tools run in your browser and do not transmit your input or output.

Does the site read my clipboard automatically?

No. Clipboard reading runs only when you click the import button.

Will detected links open automatically?

No. A detected link opens only when you click the Open in new tab button.

What happens if the input is invalid?

An error message is shown and the output field is cleared.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The interface is responsive for mobile and desktop browsers.

Can I encode or decode repeatedly?

Yes. Use the result-as-input button next to each output field to run another encode or decode pass.

Does it support Base64URL?

It supports common Base64URL input by converting - and _ and adding missing padding when possible.

Related tips

Base64 represents data as text. You may see it in API responses, email source, image data, tokens, logs, or configuration files.

Base64 does not hide sensitive information. Decoded output may contain private data, tokens, or passwords, so be careful before copying or sharing it.

If the decoded result is a link, avoid opening URLs from unknown sources. This tool shows links without opening them automatically.
