FAQs
Q: What is Base64 encoding?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used to embed images directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON data.
Q: What image formats are supported?
This tool supports all common image formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, and BMP, as long as they are properly Base64 encoded with the correct MIME type.
Q: Is my data secure when using this tool?
Yes, absolutely! This tool works entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server - all processing happens locally on your device.
Q: Why do I get an "Invalid Base64" error?
This usually happens when the Base64 string is incomplete, corrupted, or missing the proper MIME type prefix (data:image/type;base64,). Make sure your string starts with "data:image/".
Q: Can I convert multiple images at once?
Currently, this tool processes one Base64 string at a time. For batch processing, you would need to decode each image individually.
Q: What's the maximum file size I can decode?
The limit depends on your browser's memory capacity. Most modern browsers can handle Base64 strings up to several megabytes, but very large images may cause performance issues.
