Decode Base45

Recover bytes encoded with the compact Base45 alphabet used by QR-oriented formats.

Install in Serialize

What it can do

  • Decode the standard Base45 alphabet
  • Ignore non-alphabet separators
  • Return the original bytes

How the recipe works

From Base45

Convert Base45 groups back to their byte representation.

Demonstration

Sample input

UJCLQE7W581

Expected result

base-45

When to use it

  • QR payload inspection
  • Interoperability tests
  • Learning non-power-of-two encodings

Adapt it

Follow with CBOR Decode or Zlib Inflate when working with a format that layers those encodings.

Source and verification

Adapted from mattnotmax CyberChef recipes. The explanation and sample are written for Serialize, use synthetic or documentation-safe data, and are checked against the current operation catalogue. The workflow runs locally without an external API call.
