About this tool What it's for, how to use it and an example

What it's for

See what a Base64-encoded image actually is, and save it as a file. Useful when an image turns up as a long string of text in HTML, CSS, JSON, a log or an API response.

For example, when an API returns a thumbnail or a QR code as Base64, paste it here to check it and download it.

How to use it

Paste the Base64, with or without a data:image/…;base64, prefix, and choose Show image. The tool works out the image type from the data itself (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, BMP, ICO or SVG), shows the picture with its type and size, and gives you a Download link with the right file extension.

Example

Paste this and choose Show image:

PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2NCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI2NCI+PGNpcmNsZSBjeD0iMzIiIGN5PSIzMiIgcj0iMjgiIGZpbGw9IiMwNzk4RjUiLz48L3N2Zz4=

A blue circle appears, described as image/svg+xml, 116 bytes, and Download saves it as image.svg.

Good to know

If the data isn’t a recognised image type, the tool says so rather than guessing. Some formats, such as AVIF in older browsers, may not display but can still be downloaded.

URL Encode/DecodePercent-encode or decode at either of JavaScript's two levels. Typical (encodeURI) keeps a URL's structure (: / ? # & = and so on) and suits a whole URL; Aggressive (encodeURIComponent) encodes all but letters, digits and - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ), and suits one query value or path segment.JWT Decoder & EncoderA token's header and payload, with its times in local time and its lifetime. Check its signature with a secret, a public key or a JWK set, make and sign a new token, or convert keys between JWK and PEM.Certificate DecoderPaste a PEM certificate, or a chain of them, or choose a .pem, .crt, .cer or .der file, to see its subject, issuer, validity dates (flagging expired ones), alternative names, key type and size, key usage, serial number and SHA-256 and SHA-1 fingerprints, with a check that a chain links up. Also reads certificate signing requests (CSRs) and SSH public keys.URL InspectorSplits a URL, including app URL schemes and x-callback-url, into its parts and an editable list of query parameters, and rebuilds it with every parameter percent-encoded. Unwraps Outlook Safe Links, Proofpoint and redirect links, and defangs or refangs links for security reports.String EscaperEscape or unescape text as a JSON or JavaScript string, a single-quoted shell (zsh, bash) string, an AppleScript string, HTML or XML text, or a regular expression that matches it literally.Morse CodeText to Morse and back as you type, with a player that sounds the code and lights each letter in turn, and a decoder for Morse in a sound file or heard through the microphone.
