When working with APIs, webhooks, or database blobs, PDF documents are often transmitted as Base64 encoded strings. Our Base64 to PDF decoding utility allows developers to paste these massive strings (or upload a .txt file containing them) and instantly decode the ASCII back into a functional, readable PDF binary array.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because this runs in your browser, the only limit is your computer's RAM. We recommend uploading a .txt file rather than pasting for strings over 5MB to prevent the browser tab from freezing.
