Decoding Process: YW50aXF1ZXM= to antiques

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YW50aXF1ZXM=" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
0	110100	52
a	011010	26
X	010111	23
F	000101	5
1	110101	53
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100001 01101110 01110100 01101001 01110001 01110101 01100101 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01101110	n
01110100	t
01101001	i
01110001	q
01110101	u
01100101	e
01110011	s
00

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "antiques"
