How to convert Base64 to an image
Images are often stored or sent as Base64 text: in API responses, JSON files, databases, CSS and HTML. The Base64 to image converter turns that text back into a real image you can view and save.
Paste either a full data URI (data:image/png;base64,…) or only the Base64 part. The tool decodes it in your browser and recognises the image type from the data itself (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, ICO or SVG), so it works even when the type prefix is missing or wrong.
Common problems
- Missing characters: Base64 copied from a log or a terminal is sometimes cut off. If the image does not appear, check that you copied the whole string.
- Line breaks and spaces are removed automatically.
- URL-safe Base64, which uses
-and_instead of+and/, is converted automatically. - Not an image: if the text decodes but the data is not a picture, the tool says so instead of showing a broken image.
Privacy
Base64 strings can contain screenshots, signatures or ID photos. Because decoding happens entirely in your browser, the data never leaves your device.
Private by design
Your images are processed by your own browser and never uploaded to a server, so they stay on your device. There is no watermark, no sign-up and no limit on how many images you convert.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the "data:image/…;base64," part?
No. Plain Base64 works too; the image type is recognised from the data.
Why does my image not appear?
The text is probably incomplete or not an image. Copy the whole string, including its end.
Which formats can it decode?
PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, ICO and SVG.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Decoding happens in your browser.
