Frequently asked questions

Can I paste raw Base64?

Yes. If no data URL prefix is found, the tool treats the input as a PNG Base64 string by default.

Can I download the image?

Yes. After conversion, click Download Image to save the decoded file.

Why does conversion fail?

Usually the Base64 text is incomplete, not an image, or contains extra characters that are not part of the image data.

Does it support data URLs?

Yes. You can paste a full data URL such as data:image/png;base64,... and the tool will detect the image format.

What happens if no format is included?

The tool assumes the raw Base64 string is a PNG image when no image data URL prefix is provided.

Can I test with a sample?

Yes. Click Load Sample to test the converter using a tiny valid PNG Base64 image.
