Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats can be decoded?
The tool can decode any image format that browsers support, including PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. Format detection is automatic based on data URL headers or magic bytes.
Can I decode images from HTML or CSS?
Yes! The tool automatically extracts base64 data from HTML img tags, CSS background-image properties, and complete data URLs. Just paste the entire code snippet.
What happens if the base64 is invalid?
The tool validates the base64 encoding before decoding and will show specific error messages for invalid characters, incorrect padding, or corrupted data.
How can I use the decoded image?
You can preview the image, download it as a file, copy the data URL for use in HTML/CSS, or save it for further processing. All options preserve the original format.
Is there a size limit for decoding?
The limit depends on your browser's memory. Very large images may cause performance issues, but typical web images (under 10MB) decode without problems.
