## Overview

The Base64 to Image Converter allows you to quickly decode Base64 strings or Data URIs back into standard image files. Simply paste your encoded data, select your preferred output format, and download the resulting image file instantly.

## Inputs

- **Base64 Data** (text): Paste your Base64 encoded image data here (with or without data URI prefix)...
- **Output Format** (select)
- **Auto-detect Format from Data URI** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need to recover original image files from raw Base64 code snippets found in web development or database exports.
- When you have a Data URI string and need to save it as a standalone PNG, JPEG, or WebP file for local use.
- When you are debugging web applications and need to verify the visual content of encoded image assets.

## How it works

- Paste your Base64 encoded string or Data URI into the input field.
- Choose your desired output format, such as PNG, JPEG, or WebP, or use the auto-detect feature.
- Click the convert button to process the data and download the generated image file to your device.

## Use cases

- Recovering images from JSON API responses where image data is embedded as Base64 strings.
- Converting CSS background-image Data URIs into physical files for design documentation.
- Extracting embedded images from HTML source code for offline viewing or editing.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does this tool support Data URI prefixes?

Yes, the tool automatically handles Base64 strings both with and without the 'data:image/...' prefix.

### What image formats can I export to?

You can export to PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP, and GIF formats, or use the auto-detect feature to match the original encoding.

### Is my data sent to a server?

The conversion process is handled efficiently, and your data is not stored or shared after the conversion is complete.

### What if my Base64 string is very long?

The tool is designed to handle large Base64 strings commonly found in web assets, though browser memory limits may apply for extremely large files.

### Can I convert multiple images at once?

This tool is currently optimized for single-image conversion per session.
