Decoding Process: Z2xhbW91cg== to glamour

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Z2xhbW91cg==" 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
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
x	110001	49
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
9	111101	61
1	110101	53
c	011100	28
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100111 01101100 01100001 01101101 01101111 01110101 01110010 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100111	g
01101100	l
01100001	a
01101101	m
01101111	o
01110101	u
01110010	r
0000

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