Base64 to Image

Base64 is how images travel when they cannot be sent as files — inside JSON responses, inline in HTML, in email templates, in database fields. Once you have that encoded string, getting a real image back out is usually what you actually want. This Base64 to image converter does exactly that: paste the string, click convert, download the decoded image. It works with raw Base64 and with full data URIs, and supports PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF.

You can paste either a plain Base64 string (the part after the comma in a data URI) or the full data:image/png;base64,... URI straight from your code. The tool figures out the format from the string itself, so you do not have to pick a type from a dropdown. If the decoded content is not an image, you get a clear error — there is no point silently producing a broken file.

Nine times out of ten, a failed decode means the string was cut off at the end. Copy the whole thing, including any trailing == padding, and try again. The other common issue is a string that was wrapped in quotes or escape characters from a log file; strip those out before pasting. For very large strings, decoding may take a second — give it a moment before retrying.

Going the other direction? Image to Base64 encodes an image file as a Base64 string or data URI. After decoding, you might want Image Resizer to set exact dimensions, Image Compressor to shrink the file, or Background Remover to clean up the backdrop.
