Base64 to CSV Converter
APIs, config files, and email attachments sometimes wrap CSV as Base64 so binary-safe transport stays intact. This free Base64 to CSV converter decodes UTF-8 Base64 in your browser and parses the result as CSV.
Key features
- UTF-8-safe decode with clear errors on invalid Base64.

- Decoding a Base64 field from a JSON API response into Excel.
- Recovering CSV from an encoded backup string.
How to use this tool
- Paste Base64 or upload a .b64/.txt file.
