Base64 Decode

What is Base64 Decoding?

Base64 decoding is the process of converting Base64-encoded data back into its original binary format. Base64 encoding is used to convert binary data into a text format that is easier to transmit or store. Decoding reverses this process, making the data usable again in its original form.
