How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a Base64 from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your Text the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

About Base64 and Text

Base64, Base64 binary-to-text encoding (RFC 4648)

Base64 encodes any byte sequence as ASCII text using 64 printable characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, with = padding). Output is ~33% larger than input but survives every text channel that strips or mangles binary: email attachments (MIME), JSON fields, URLs (URL-safe variant), data: URIs, JWT payloads. The format dates to RFC 989 (1987) and was standardized in RFC 4648.

How to open

Any text editor displays base64. To decode back to bytes: `base64 -d` on Mac/Linux, `certutil -decode` on Windows, or paste into any base64 web decoder. Used heavily in dev tools, API debugging, and security workflows.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this Base64 → Text converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert Base64 to Text?

Embedding binary data in text-only channels (email, JSON, URLs). Universal text interchange. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, Text works in places where Base64 doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a Base64 file in the first place?

Any text editor displays base64. To decode back to bytes: `base64 -d` on Mac/Linux, `certutil -decode` on Windows, or paste into any base64 web decoder. Used heavily in dev tools, API debugging, and security workflows.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
