Base64 to Image

Render an image returned as Base64

The Base64-to-image tool helps developers inspect image payloads returned by APIs or embedded as data URIs. It reconstructs the binary asset so format, dimensions, transparency, and visible corruption can be checked.

Useful scenarios

  • Preview a screenshot field from a test response.
  • Validate an image data URI used in HTML or CSS.
  • Diagnose a truncated or mismatched MIME payload.

Recommended workflow

  1. Keep the entire payload and its MIME prefix when available.
  2. Decode and confirm the file type matches the declared media type.
  3. Compare the rendered image with the expected dimensions and content.

Technical example

A PNG data URI starts with data:image/png;base64, followed by encoded bytes; a JPEG payload should declare image/jpeg instead.

Limitations and safety

Treat unknown payloads as untrusted files. Avoid confidential images and do not execute or redistribute content merely because it decodes successfully.
