About Bech32 Decoder
Bech32 is an encoding scheme primarily used for Bitcoin SegWit addresses (BIP-0173). It uses a 32-character alphabet that excludes easily confused characters (1, b, i, o) and includes a checksum for error detection. Bech32m (BIP-0350) is an updated version used for Bitcoin Taproot addresses. Auto-detect will attempt Bech32 first, then Bech32m if the checksum fails. Output format options allow you to see the Human-Readable Part (HRP) along with the decoded data.
Input: text. Output: text.
Format reference: From Bech32 background and specification

Before interpreting the result
Choose a decoder for an encoded payload, an encoder for transport, or a converter for structured data. Hex and Base64 represent bytes; converting formats does not encrypt or authenticate them.
How to use this page
- Paste your input or open a local file.
- Adjust tool options if needed, then choose Run tool.
- Copy the result or download the original output bytes.
Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
