How do I convert Base64 to an image?

Paste your Base64 string (with or without the data:image prefix) into the input. The image will preview automatically. Then click Download to save it as a file.

What Base64 image formats can I decode?

Any format that your browser supports: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, BMP, ICO. The tool auto-detects the format from the data URI or Base64 header bytes.

My Base64 image isn't showing - why?

Common issues: The string is corrupted or incomplete, it's not actually image data, or it needs the data URI prefix. Try adding 'data:image/png;base64,' before your string.

Can I decode Base64 images from email?

Yes! Email attachments and embedded images are often Base64 encoded. Copy the Base64 string from the email source and paste it here to view and download the image.

Technical Details

Base64 encoding uses a 64-character alphabet to represent binary data as ASCII text. Every 3 bytes of input become 4 characters of output (~33% size increase).

Our tool uses the browser's native btoa() and atob() functions for fast, reliable conversion. Unicode text is first converted to UTF-8.
