Base32 to file decoder
Turn Base32 text back into the original file. Capital or small letters, spaces and line breaks don't matter, and the tool recognises the type of file itself.
How it works
-
Paste the text
Paste the Base32 text, or choose a .txt file that contains it.
-
Checked instantly
You see at once whether the text is valid and what kind of file is in it.
-
Download the file
The file automatically gets the right extension.
What it accepts
The standard Base32 alphabet: the letters A–Z and the digits 2–7, with or without = padding. Any other character is reported with its position, so you can find a typo quickly.
Knowing what you get
The first bytes of the result are used to recognise images, PDFs, archives, audio and text. Images and text are previewed, and the download gets the right extension. You can change the file name before saving.
A word of caution
If you don't know what a decoded file is, be careful opening it.

How do I know what kind of file comes out?

Is my text uploaded?
