Decoding Process: c2lsaG91ZXR0ZQ== to silhouette

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c2lsaG91ZXR0ZQ==" 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
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
l	100101	37
s	101100	44
a	011010	26
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
1	110101	53
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
0	110100	52
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):

01110011 01101001 01101100 01101000 01101111 01110101 01100101 01110100 01110100 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01101001	i
01101100	l
01101000	h
01101111	o
01110101	u
01100101	e
01110100	t
01110100	t
01100101	e
0000

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