Why decode Base64 locally
Base64 isn't encryption — it's a reversible encoding, which means anything you paste into an online decoder is readable by whoever runs it. Basic-auth headers, JWT segments, SMTP credentials, and certificate blobs all travel as Base64, and they all get pasted into web decoders thousands of times a day. This tool runs the browser's own encoder locally, handles full Unicode (emoji and non-Latin scripts included, where many tools corrupt them), and supports the URL-safe alphabet used by JWTs and web APIs.
