How to Use:

• Paste your Base64 string:
  Enter the Base64-encoded image data into the text field. You can paste either a raw Base64 string or a complete data URI (e.g., data:image/png;base64,...).

Base64 Image Decoding Use Cases

• Debugging API responses:
  Quickly verify that Base64-encoded images in API responses are correct.
• Email template development:
  Preview embedded images in email templates that use Base64 encoding.
• Data URI validation:
  Verify that data URIs are properly formatted and contain valid image data.
• Database content inspection:
  View images stored as Base64 strings in databases.

Understanding Base64 Image Encoding

Base64 encoding converts binary image data into ASCII text, making it safe to transmit over text-based protocols like HTTP, email, and JSON. This is commonly used for embedding small images directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript without requiring separate HTTP requests.

A Base64-encoded image typically appears as a data URI in the format:data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA...

This tool accepts both the full data URI format and raw Base64 strings without the prefix.

FAQs

• What image formats are supported?
  This tool supports all common image formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, and SVG when properly Base64-encoded.
• Do I need to include the data URI prefix?
  No, you can paste either a raw Base64 string or a complete data URI. The tool will handle both formats.
• Is my data secure?
  Yes, all processing happens locally in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server.
• Why is my image not displaying?
  Make sure your Base64 string is valid and represents actual image data. The string should only contain valid Base64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, =).
