Base64 to Image Converter
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It’s commonly used to encode images for embedding in web pages, emails, or storing in databases as text.
How do I convert Base64 to an image?
Simply paste your Base64 string (with or without the data URL prefix) into the text area, select your preferred output format, and click “Convert to Image”. The tool will instantly display the image and provide download options.
What image formats are supported?
Our converter supports PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, and SVG formats. You can either let the tool auto-detect the format from the Base64 header or manually specify the output format.
Is my data safe when using this tool?
Absolutely! All conversion processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your Base64 data never leaves your device or gets transmitted to any external servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Can I use this tool on mobile devices?
Yes! Our Base64 to Image converter is fully responsive and works perfectly on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. The interface automatically adapts to your screen size for optimal usability.
Do I need to include the data URL prefix?
No, it’s not required. Our tool can process both complete data URLs (like “data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0…”) and raw Base64 strings. The auto-detect feature will identify the format automatically.
What should I do if I get an error message?
Common issues include invalid Base64 strings, corrupted data, or unsupported formats. Make sure your Base64 string is complete and properly formatted. If the auto-detect fails, try manually selecting the correct image format.
Is there a file size limit?
There’s no artificial file size limit imposed by our tool. However, very large images may take longer to process and could be limited by your browser’s memory capacity. For best performance, we recommend images under 50MB.
