About the Image Decoder Tool
The Image Decoder tool converts text strings (encoded in Base64 or Hexadecimal) back into viewable images. If you have an image represented as a long string of characters, this tool can help you see what it looks like. All processing is done client-side in your browser.
Why Use This Image Decoder Tool?
This tool is useful when you encounter image data embedded as Base64 (e.g., in JSON, XML, or data URIs) or as a Hex string (e.g., in debug logs or binary dumps) and need to quickly visualize the actual image. It's a convenient way to reverse the encoding process for images.
Example Use Cases
- Decoding a Base64 string from a `data:image/png;base64,...` URI to view the PNG image.
- Visualizing an image that was transmitted as a Hex string in a data payload.
- Checking if a Base64 or Hex string correctly represents an image file.
Pro Tips
- Input Type: Ensure you select the correct 'Input Type' (Base64 or Hexadecimal) that matches your input string.
- Valid Strings: The tool will validate if the input string is a plausible Base64 or Hex string. Malformed strings will result in an error.
- Image Formats: The tool attempts to render common image formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP). If the decoded data is not a supported image format, it may not display.
