Decoding Process: YmVzdHNlbGxlcnM= to bestsellers

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YmVzdHNlbGxlcnM=" 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
m	100110	38
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
N	001101	13
l	100101	37
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
x	110001	49
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
n	100111	39
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100010 01100101 01110011 01110100 01110011 01100101 01101100 01101100 01100101 01110010 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01100101	e
01110011	s
01110100	t
01110011	s
01100101	e
01101100	l
01101100	l
01100101	e
01110010	r
01110011	s
00

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