How to convert Base64 to text
- Paste Base64 (whitespace and data-URI prefixes are stripped).
- Click Decode.
- Copy the UTF-8 text or download a .txt file.
- If bytes are not valid UTF-8, use Base64 to Image for image payloads.
FAQ
- Search intent differs. This page emphasizes recovering readable text; Base64 Decode is the generic decoder landing page. Both share one engine.
- If bytes are not valid UTF-8, decoding fails with a clear message. Use Base64 to Image when the payload is an image.
- No. Decoding runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
- Whitespace and PEM-style line breaks are stripped automatically before decode. Paste the full block from an email or certificate file without manually removing newlines.
- Yes. A data URI prefix is removed before decoding, same as on the Base64 Decode page. For image payloads, Base64 to Image adds preview and download.
