Base64 to Image
Decode a Base64 Data URI to a viewable image. Preview and download as a file.
About This Tool
The Base64 to Image Converter decodes a Base64-encoded Data URI string and renders the image directly in your browser. Paste the full Data URI (including the data:image/png;base64, prefix) or just the raw Base64 string, and the tool will display a preview of the image. You can then download the decoded image as a file. Supported formats include PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, and BMP.
All decoding runs entirely in your browser β no Base64 data is sent to any server. The image is reconstructed locally using the browser's native Data URI support.
How to Use
- Paste the Base64 Data URI into the input area. It should start with data:image/...;base64, followed by the encoded string.
- Click Decode to render the image preview.
- Verify the image looks correct. The image dimensions and MIME type are shown above the preview.
- Click Download to save the image as a file.
Use Cases
Developers debugging CSS backgrounds with Base64-embedded images decode them to verify the content. Back-end engineers receiving image data as Base64 in API responses decode them for inspection. Front-end developers reviewing HTML or CSS with inline images extract and preview the embedded images. Anyone receiving a Base64 image string and needing to see what it looks like can use this tool without writing code.
FAQ
- What formats are supported? β Any image format that your browser supports: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, BMP, and ICO.
- Do I need the data: prefix? β No. If you paste raw Base64 without the prefix, the tool assumes PNG format and adds the prefix automatically.
- Why does my image appear broken? β The Base64 string may be truncated or corrupted. Make sure you copied the entire string, including any trailing = padding characters.
- Is my image sent to a server? β No. The entire decode and preview happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
