Decoding Process: Zm9vdGFnZQ== to footage

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Zm9vdGFnZQ==" 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
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
v	101111	47
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
n	100111	39
Z	011001	25
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100110 01101111 01101111 01110100 01100001 01100111 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100110	f
01101111	o
01101111	o
01110100	t
01100001	a
01100111	g
01100101	e
0000

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