About this tool
A Base64 data URL embeds an entire image as text — inside a CSS file, an email template, or an API response. Getting the actual image file back out means decoding that text and reconstructing the binary data, which browsers don't have a built-in "save as" for.
How to use it
- Paste a full data URL (starting with data:image/…) or a bare Base64 string.
- If the string doesn't include a data URL prefix, pick the format it should decode as.
- Preview the result, then download it as a real image file.
Examples
Common problems
- The preview shows a broken image icon.
- Check that the fallback format actually matches the data — a string encoded as a JPEG won't decode correctly if you select PNG, since the two formats' bytes mean different things.
