Privacy: decoding runs locally in your browser. No input text is stored or transmitted.
The tool decodes Ascii85/Base85 input into bytes and then interprets those bytes as UTF-8 text.
Examples
- z → represents four zero bytes
- <~ ... ~> → optional Ascii85 wrapper markers
- UTF-8 required → decoded bytes must represent valid UTF-8 text for display here
FAQ
- What Base85 format does this decoder support?
It supports Ascii85-style Base85 input, including optional <~ ~> wrappers and the z shortcut.
- Does it support the z shorthand?
Yes. A z is interpreted as a 4-byte zero block in valid positions.
- What if the decoded bytes are not valid UTF-8?
This page expects the decoded bytes to represent UTF-8 text. Invalid UTF-8 content will cause an error.
- Is my input stored?
No. Decoding runs locally in your browser and is not stored or transmitted.
