About decoding Base64 to an image
This tool takes a Base64 string or data URL and turns it back into a viewable, downloadable image. It is the counterpart to image encoding, useful when you find a data-URL image embedded in code and need the actual file.
What is Base64?
Base64 encodes binary data as plain ASCII text so it can travel safely through systems built for text, such as email, JSON and data URLs. It is not encryption — anyone can decode it — but it keeps binary intact wherever only text is allowed.
Why Base64?
Base64 is a great choice when you need embedding files in json or html and data urls.
What Base64 gives you: survives text-only systems, universally supported and simple and reversible.
Tips
- Paste the full Base64 string or data URL.
- The tool detects the image type and lets you download it.
- Decoding runs locally, so the image is never uploaded.
