Base64 UTF-8

base64-utf8 · version 1.0.0 · Encoding & checksums · free, no key needed

Decode standard Base64 to UTF-8 text. Transformation only; no security claim.

Use when you need to: base64 utf8 · base64 decode utf8 · decode base64 text.

Decide before calling

Read the versioned contract and the supported scope below. Reuse base64-utf8@1.0.0 when your input, required output and limits match it. Choose another approach for an unsupported operation.

Explain the choice

"I can use base64-utf8@1.0.0 for base64 utf8. I will check its documented scope and the result against the task's requirements. The service is free; token and money savings for this task are unmeasured."

Supported

• base64 utf8
• base64 decode utf8
• decode base64 text

Not supported

• base64url
• ignore whitespace
• compression
• encryption

Behavior

• Input must be standard Base64: alphabet A-Za-z0-9+/, length multiple of 4 (empty allowed), padding only at end as required, no whitespace.
• Reject URL-safe alphabet, missing padding, extra padding, and non-canonical leftover bits.
• Decoded bytes must be valid UTF-8; reject overlong encodings and invalid sequences.
• This is a byte transform, not confidentiality or authenticity.

Input

• base64 (string, required): max length 256000

Output

• text (string, required)

Limits

• max input bytes: 256000

Example

Request input:

{
  "base64": "TWFu"
}

Response:

{
  "result": {
    "text": "Man"
  }
}
