Base64 Decoding Code Snippets

Ready-to-use code snippets with instant 1-click copy support across all major programming languages, command-line shells, and database engines.

PHP

base64_decode()
<?php
$encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh";
$decoded = base64_decode($encoded);
echo $decoded; // Output: Hello World!
?>

Python

base64.b64decode()
import base64

encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
decoded_bytes = base64.b64decode(encoded)
decoded_str = decoded_bytes.decode('utf-8')
print(decoded_str) # Output: Hello World!

JavaScript

atob() / Buffer
// Browser JS
const decoded = atob("SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh");
console.log(decoded);

// Node.js
const str = Buffer.from("SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh", 'base64').toString('utf-8');

Java

Base64.getDecoder().decode()
import java.util.Base64;

String encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh";
byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(encoded);
String decoded = new String(decodedBytes);
System.out.println(decoded);

Kotlin

Base64.getDecoder().decode() / android.util.Base64
import java.util.Base64

val encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
val decodedBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(encoded)
val decoded = String(decodedBytes, Charsets.UTF_8)
println(decoded)

// Android:
// val decodedBytes = android.util.Base64.decode(encoded, android.util.Base64.DEFAULT)

C#

Convert.FromBase64String()
using System;
using System.Text;

string encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh";
byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(encoded);
string decoded = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);
Console.WriteLine(decoded);

VB.NET

Convert.FromBase64String()
Dim encoded As String = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
Dim data As Byte() = Convert.FromBase64String(encoded)
Dim decoded As String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data)
Console.WriteLine(decoded)

Go (Golang)

base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString()
package main
import (
	"encoding/base64"
	"fmt"
)
func main() {
	encoded := "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
	decoded, _ := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(encoded)
	fmt.Println(string(decoded))
}

Rust

base64::decode()
use base64::{Engine as _, engine::general_purpose};

fn main() {
    let encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh";
    let bytes = general_purpose::STANDARD.decode(encoded).unwrap();
    let decoded = String::from_utf8(bytes).unwrap();
    println!("{}", decoded);
}

Ruby

Base64.decode64()
require 'base64'

encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
decoded = Base64.decode64(encoded)
puts decoded

Perl

decode_base64()
use MIME::Base64;

my $encoded = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh";
my $decoded = decode_base64($encoded);
print $decoded;

Linux Shell

base64 -d / --decode
# Command Line Terminal
echo "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh" | base64 --decode
# Or reading from file:
base64 -d input.b64 > output.txt

MySQL

FROM_BASE64()
-- MySQL 5.6+ Query
SELECT FROM_BASE64('SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh'); -- Returns 'Hello World!'

PostgreSQL

decode(string, 'base64')
-- PostgreSQL Query
SELECT convert_from(decode('SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh', 'base64'), 'UTF8');

Dojo Toolkit

dojox.encoding.base64.decode()
require(["dojox/encoding/base64"], function(base64){
  var byteArray = base64.decode("SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh");
});

Production-Ready Code Snippets for Modern Software Engineers

Writing the same boilerplate helper functionsβ€”like debounce routines, deep object cloning, UUID generators, or date formattersβ€”wastes precious engineering time.

Our Code Snippets Hub offers a curated collection of lightweight, dependency-free, and thoroughly tested code snippets across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Bash, and SQL that you can copy straight into your production codebase.

How to Use

  1. Search snippets by language or keyword using the interactive search bar.
  2. Filter by category (DOM, Arrays, Async, Cryptography, Strings, File System).
  3. Review the syntax-highlighted code alongside usage examples and benchmarks.
  4. Click "Copy Snippet" to paste the tested code directly into your project.

Key Features & Capabilities

  • Zero-dependency implementations focused on performance and readability.
  • Covers JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Shell/Bash, and SQL.
  • Interactive instant filter search by keyword and category.
  • One-click clipboard copying with formatted indentation.

Common Developer Workflows

  • Quickly grabbing debounce and throttle functions for UI performance optimization.
  • Implementing secure random string generators in Node.js or Python.
  • Referencing common shell commands for Docker, Git, and Linux administration.
  • Finding optimized SQL queries for pagination, ranking, and date grouping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these code snippets free to use in commercial projects?

Yes! All snippets are released under the MIT license and can be freely used in personal, open-source, or commercial software.

Do these snippets require third-party npm packages?

No. Every snippet is intentionally written using modern standard library APIs without external dependencies.

Can I suggest or contribute a new code snippet?

Yes, we regularly expand our library based on community suggestions and common developer requests.
