base64-to-file

base64-to-file is a simple command-line tool that decodes Base64-encoded content and creates a file with the provided file type extension. It can be useful when you have Base64-encoded data that you want to decode and save as a file, such as images, documents, or any other file type. (base64 to file converter)

  • -f, --file <file_name> <decoded_file_type>: Takes input from a file.
