Base64 to Image: how to use it
- Paste a base64 string or a full data URI into the box, or drop a .txt file that contains one.
- Press Decode.
- Check the preview and download the image in its original format.
Tips
- A data URI starts with data:image/png;base64, or similar. Raw base64 without that prefix works as well.
- If you drop an actual image here by mistake, the tool tells you and points you to Image to Base64.
Base64 to Image: what it does and when to use it
This is the reverse of Image to Base64: paste a base64 string or a full data URI, as found in HTML source, CSS files, API responses or email templates, and it is decoded back into a normal image file you can see and download.
The tool reads the first bytes of the decoded data to tell what kind of image it is, so a PNG comes back as a PNG and a JPEG as a JPEG even when the string has no data URI header saying so. A text file containing the string can be dropped in instead of pasting, which helps with long strings that are awkward to copy.
If decoding fails, the usual causes are a string that was cut off while copying, stray quote marks or line breaks from the source code, or text that is not base64 at all, such as a URL. Decoding happens in your browser, so strings pulled from private systems are not sent anywhere.
