Base64 to Image Converter
Decode Base64 text or a data URL back into a viewable, downloadable image.
Turn Base64 into an image
Long Base64 strings in API responses, database records, email source code or logs are often images. This tool decodes the text so you can preview the image instantly and download it as a file.
Supported input
Paste a full data URL ('data:image/png;base64,...') or just the raw Base64 characters. The tool detects the image type (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG) automatically and offers a download with the right extension.
Perfect for debugging
Check whether image data sent by an application is correct. Decoding happens entirely in your browser; what you paste is never sent to a server.
How to use Base64 to Image Converter
- Paste the Base64 text or data URL.
- The image is decoded and previewed automatically.
- Check the detected image type and size.
- Download the image as a file.
Why use this tool?
See which image a Base64 string represents in seconds. Even sensitive data is safe to decode because nothing leaves your browser.
FAQ
Why doesn't the image show?
The text may be truncated or contain characters outside the Base64 alphabet. Make sure there are no extra spaces or quotes at the start or end.
Do I need the 'data:image/...' prefix?
No. The tool accepts both a full data URL and the Base64 part alone.
Can it decode large strings?
Yes, images of several megabytes decode fine; the only limit is your browser's memory.
