In general, for bases, as long as you're exposed to them enough, you'll be able to recognize them pretty quickly. For base64, there's a few distinct features:

  • contains letters from A-Z (uppercase)
  • contains letters from a-z (lowercase)
  • contains digits from 0-9
  • uses +, /, and = as padding
    TLDR: learn that patterns that are distinct to each base
