Decoding Process: aW5wdXQ= to input

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "aW5wdXQ=" 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
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
w	110000	48
d	011101	29
X	010111	23
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101001 01101110 01110000 01110101 01110100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101001	i
01101110	n
01110000	p
01110101	u
01110100	t
00

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