What is a Base64 to Image Converter?

This tool decodes a Base64-encoded string back into a viewable and downloadable image. Paste any valid Base64 Data URI (e.g., data:image/png;base64,...) and instantly preview the image, then download it in its original format. All decoding happens locally — no server required.

Common Use Cases

  • Decode Base64 image strings returned by APIs (e.g., AI image generation APIs)
  • Extract and save images embedded in HTML or CSS source code
  • Debug Base64-encoded image fields in JSON API responses
  • Recover images stored as Base64 in databases
  • Preview Data URIs copied from browser DevTools

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to include the 'data:image/...' prefix?

No. If you paste a raw Base64 string without a prefix, our tool will automatically attempt to add data:image/png;base64, for you. However, including the full Data URI ensures the correct file extension and MIME type are used.

2. Is my Base64 data sent to any server?

No. All decoding and image generation happens entirely in your browser. Your Base64 string never leaves your device, making it safe to decode private images or sensitive internal data.

3. What image formats are supported?

The tool supports all standard image formats including PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and SVG. As long as the Base64 string is correctly encoded, the browser will render it.

4. Can I convert the image back to Base64?

Yes! Use our companion tool, Image to Base64, to perform the reverse operation. Both tools work client-side to keep your data private.
