Step-by-step guide

  1. Paste your Base64 string into the left input area.
  2. The tool detects the target format (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, PDF, DOCX, and more) and decodes the payload.
  3. Download the decoded output or use the text result for textual data.

Typical use cases

  • Restoring original files from API responses or logs with Base64 values.
  • Validating Base64 payloads before saving or passing to downstream services.
  • Decoding Base64 content into PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, PDF, DOCX, and more for immediate use.

Practical examples

Example 1: Base64 text to plain text

Input: SGVsbG8sIEJhc2U2NCE=

Output: Hello, Base64!

Quick validation for payload integrity before passing data downstream.

Example 2: Base64 to PNG file

Input: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA...

Output: decoded.png

Useful for restoring files from logs, API responses, and archived payloads.

Edge cases

  • Payloads without correct Base64 padding (=) may be treated as corrupted.
  • Extra whitespace or line breaks inside Base64 often cause parse/decode failures.
  • When data URI MIME does not match actual PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, PDF, DOCX, and more content, output may open with a wrong app.

Common errors

Error: InvalidCharacterError

Cause: Input contains characters outside the Base64 alphabet.

Fix: Trim whitespace, remove invalid symbols, and retry decoding.

Error: Corrupted decoded file

Cause: Source payload was truncated while copying/transmitting.

Fix: Verify payload length against the original and resend full content.

Error: Wrong output extension

Cause: Declared MIME does not match expected PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, PDF, DOCX, and more content.

Fix: Use the matching format route or provide a correct data URI MIME.
