Base64 to zip

Base64 encoding is used to encode binary data, such as a PDF file, into an ASCII string format that is compatible with systems that can only handle text . For example, email attachments and binary uploads in HTML forms are converted and transmitted as Base64 encoded data.

To decode a file with contents that are base64 encoded, you simply provide the path of the file with the –decode flag . As with encoding files, the output will be a very long string of the original file. You may want to output stdout directly to a file.
