Base32 Decode

Base32 is a binary-to-text encoding format that is used to represent binary data in a printable format. The Base32 Decode tool is a tool that can be used to decode Base32 encoded data back into its original binary format.

The Base32 Decode tool works by taking a Base32 encoded string as input and converting it back into its original binary format. This process involves the following steps:

  1. The tool first checks that the input string is a valid Base32 encoded string. This is done by checking that the string contains only characters that are valid in the Base32 encoding format.
  2. The tool then converts the Base32 encoded string into a binary format using the following steps:
    1. The input string is converted into a sequence of 5-bit values.
    2. Each group of 5 bits is converted into an 8-bit value using a lookup table.
  3. The resulting binary values are then concatenated to form the final output.
  4. The tool then returns the binary data as a string of bytes.
