Hello, team!FAQ
How do I know whether I need standard or URL-safe Base64 decoding?
URL-safe Base64 usually replaces + with - and / with _. If the value looks token-like or URL-friendly, the URL-safe decoder is usually the better fit.
What kinds of data show up after decoding?
You may get plain text, JSON, query fragments, HTML, or binary-like content represented as text.
What should I do after decoding a token segment?
If the result is JSON or JWT-related data, move into the matching JSON or JWT tool for a more specific review.
