Decoding Process: cG9ydHJhaXQ= to portrait

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cG9ydHJhaXQ=" 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
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
y	110010	50
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
J	001001	9
h	100001	33
a	011010	26
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):

01110000 01101111 01110010 01110100 01110010 01100001 01101001 01110100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101111	o
01110010	r
01110100	t
01110010	r
01100001	a
01101001	i
01110100	t
00

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