Base64 to Image Converter

What is Base64 Image Encoding?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. When it comes to images, Base64 encoding converts the binary image data into a text string that can be safely transmitted over text-based protocols or embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files.

Why Convert Base64 Back to Images?

• Recover images from encoded data in databases or APIs
