Base64 to Text
Decode Base64 strings back to readable text and quickly inspect API or configuration values.
Suitable Input Types
- Base64 text fields
- API response values
- Configuration strings
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Open the text Base64 workspace.
- Paste the Base64 string into decode mode.
- Check any invalid character or padding message.
- Copy the decoded text once the result looks correct.
Common Issues in This Scenario
Invalid characters
Remove line labels, quotes, or copied punctuation that are not part of Base64.
Missing padding
Some values omit = padding; normalize before sharing if another system requires it.
Wrong workflow
Use the image workspace for Data URL or image preview tasks.
