About Decoder
Encoded strings — Base64 payloads, URL-encoded query parameters, HTML entities — show up constantly in logs, APIs, and scraped content, and decoding them by eye is tedious. ILikePdf Decoder reverses Base64, URL encoding, and HTML entity encoding with an auto-detect mode that guesses the format. Malformed input produces a clear error instead of garbage. Everything runs locally in your browser, keeping the data you inspect private.
