Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is Base64 decoding?
A: Base64 decoding is the process of converting an ASCII-encoded string back into its original binary or text format.
Q: What happens if I decode a binary file (like an image) as text?
A: Decoding binary files as text results in unreadable characters. Our tool detects these payloads and offers a download option to save the reconstructed file.
Q: Are my Base64 strings sent to a server?
A: No. We prioritize user privacy. The decoding process runs entirely within your browser's local memory, and no data is uploaded to external databases.
Q: What is a Data URL header?
A: A Data URL header (like data:image/png;base64,) defines the MIME type and encoding of the payload, allowing browsers to render the data directly.
Q: Does the decoder work offline?
A: Yes, once loaded, the script runs locally, allowing offline use.
