Base64 to PDF Converter — Decode Back to a Downloadable File

Paste a Base64-encoded PDF string — from an API response, email attachment payload, or database field — to decode it back into a real, downloadable PDF file, without needing a script or command-line tool for a one-off decode.

How to use Base64 to PDF

1. Paste the Base64 string.
2. Decode and preview the result.
3. Download the PDF file.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need the full data URI or just raw Base64?

Either works — paste the raw Base64 string or the full data:application/pdf;base64,... URI and it decodes correctly.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser.

What if the decoded content is not actually a valid PDF?

It reports a decode error rather than producing a corrupted download, since the byte signature is checked before offering the file.
