Base64 to Text
Paste a Base64 string to read the text hidden inside it. The decoder supports Unicode and detects legacy encodings, and it tells you when the data is actually a binary file rather than text.
How to convert Base64 to Text online
- Paste the Base64 string.

When the result looks like gibberish
If you see random symbols, the Base64 probably contains a binary file (an image, PDF or ZIP). Use Base64 to File to detect and download it. If the text has wrong accented letters, choose a different charset in the advanced decoder.
