Why do I get an error decoding my text?

This usually means the input isn't valid Base64 — check for typos, missing characters or extra whitespace.

Does this decode URL-safe Base64 too?

Yes — the decoder automatically converts URL-safe characters back before decoding.

Can I decode a JWT with this tool?

You can decode a JWT's header or payload segment individually, but this tool does not verify a JWT's signature.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No — decoding happens entirely in your browser.

Does this handle missing padding automatically?

Yes — the decoder adds any missing = padding characters automatically before decoding.

What happens if I paste non-Base64 text?

You'll see a clear error message telling you the input isn't valid Base64, rather than garbled output.

What Is Base64 Decoding?

Base64 decoding reverses Base64 encoding, converting a string of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, + and / (or their URL-safe equivalents) back into its original text. It is the tool to reach for whenever you have a Base64 string — from a JWT token, an API response, or an email header — and need to read what it actually contains.

This decoder automatically handles both standard and URL-safe Base64 input, so you don't need to know in advance which variant you're working with.

Consejos

Remove Extra Whitespace First

If decoding fails, check for accidental line breaks or spaces copied along with the Base64 string.

Use This to Inspect JWT Payloads

JWT tokens are made of Base64-encoded segments — decode the middle segment to see the payload (note: this does not verify the signature).
