Base64 to Image Converter

About Base64 to Image Conversion

This tool helps you convert Base64-encoded image data back into viewable images. It accepts both plain Base64 strings and complete Data URI formats, making it useful for developers working with embedded images in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

How It Works

The conversion process follows these steps:

  1. The Base64 string is validated and cleaned of any whitespace
  2. If provided as plain Base64, the appropriate image type is detected
  3. The Base64 data is decoded back into binary image data
  4. The binary data is converted into a viewable image with metadata extraction

Supported Formats

  • PNG images (image/png)
  • JPEG images (image/jpeg)
  • GIF images (image/gif)
  • WebP images (image/webp)
  • SVG images (image/svg+xml)

Technical Details

Base64-encoded images can be represented in two ways:

1. Data URI format: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA... 2. Plain Base64 format: iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA...

The Data URI format includes metadata about the image type, making it easier to process and display correctly. When using plain Base64, the tool attempts to detect the image format from the binary data signature.
