PIPELINE Encoding & Decoding Beginner 2 steps

Convert Base32 to Base64

Base32 is used in DNS-based authentication (DKIM, SPF) and TOTP secrets because it is case-insensitive and safe in URLs. Base64 is roughly 20% more compact. This chain decodes Base32 to bytes then encodes as Base64, useful when migrating secrets or tokens into a system that prefers Base64.

What it solves

Decode a Base32-encoded string into raw bytes and re-encode as Base64 for more compact representation.

Input → Output
