## Overview (en)

Base64 to image decodes a Base64 data URL back into a downloadable image. Paste a string that starts with data:image/png, jpeg, webp or gif followed by ;base64, and the tool previews the picture and saves it as a PNG, listing its width, height and size. Spaces and line breaks inside the Base64 are ignored.

## Questions (en)

### How do I convert a Base64 string to an image?

Paste the complete data URL, including the data:image/...;base64, prefix, into the input and run the tool. The image is decoded, shown as a preview and offered for download as a PNG.

### Can I paste Base64 without the data:image prefix?

No. The input must be a full data URL beginning with data:image/png, data:image/jpeg, data:image/webp or data:image/gif followed by ;base64,. Add the matching prefix in front of raw Base64 text before decoding.

### Why is my decoded image saved as PNG instead of JPG?

After decoding, the image is drawn on a canvas and exported as PNG regardless of the source type. This keeps the decoded pixels lossless, but metadata from the original file is not carried over.

### Where is my input processed?

This operation processes its source in your browser. Copy and download are explicit actions; source input is not saved in an account or history.

### What are the input limits?
