How this tool works

What it does

Decodes a pasted image data URI or raw Base64 into a downloadable file with a matching extension.

Image types only

PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP, ICO, AVIF — non-image data is refused.

Input formats

Full data URI or raw Base64; whitespace and URL-safe Base64 are handled.

Privacy

The pasted text is decoded on this page only; nothing is uploaded.

Base64 to Image in your browser

Base64 to Image decodes an image Base64 string back into a downloadable image file. Paste a full image data URI (such as data:image/png;base64,…) or a raw Base64 image string and it validates the data, decodes it in your browser, and previews the result.

Base64 to Image accepts image types only — PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP, ICO and AVIF. Non-image data URIs, malformed Base64 and anything that decodes to a non-image are refused with a clear message rather than saved as a broken file, and whitespace and URL-safe Base64 are handled automatically.

The decoded file is saved with the extension that matches its detected format, so a JPEG data URI becomes a .jpg, not a forced .png. The pasted text is decoded locally and is never uploaded, and the decoded size is estimated before decoding so an oversized payload is refused early.

How to use Base64 to Image

  1. Paste a full image data URI or a raw Base64 image string into the box in Base64 to Image.
  2. Click Process to validate and decode the image in your browser.
  3. Check the detected format, dimensions and decoded size in the result panel.
  4. Download the decoded image — its extension matches the detected format.

Why use Base64 to Image

Image-only & validated

Rejects non-image data URIs and malformed Base64 instead of saving a broken file.

Matching extension

Saves the file as the detected format — a JPEG stays .jpg, not a mislabelled .png.

Size-guarded

Estimates the decoded size before decoding so oversized payloads are refused early.

Private & local

The pasted text is decoded in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Common uses for Base64 to Image

Recover an embedded image

Turn a data URI from CSS, HTML or JSON back into a real file.

Inspect a payload

Decode a Base64 image from an API response to view and save it.

Convert a copied data URI

Paste a data URI you copied elsewhere and download the image.

Check what a string contains

Validate that a Base64 blob really is the image you expect.

Frequently asked questions

Does my pasted Base64 leave the browser?

No. The Base64 text is decoded locally in your browser; it is never sent to a server.

What Base64 input does Base64 to Image accept?

A full image data URI (such as data:image/png;base64,…) or a raw Base64 image string. Whitespace and URL-safe Base64 are handled, and only image types are accepted.

What happens if I paste non-image or invalid data?

It is rejected with a clear message. Non-image data URIs, malformed Base64 and data that decodes to a non-image are refused rather than saved as a broken file.

What file extension does the decoded image get?

The extension matches the detected format — PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP, ICO or AVIF — so a JPEG data URI is saved as .jpg, not forced to .png.

Is there a size limit on the decoded image?

Yes. The tool estimates the decoded size before decoding and refuses data that would exceed the browser-side limit, then re-checks the actual decoded file.
