Decoding Process: bGlwc3RpY2s= to lipstick

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bGlwc3RpY2s=" 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
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
w	110000	48
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
R	010001	17
p	101001	41
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
s	101100	44
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101100 01101001 01110000 01110011 01110100 01101001 01100011 01101011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101100	l
01101001	i
01110000	p
01110011	s
01110100	t
01101001	i
01100011	c
01101011	k
00

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