Data URI to Image Converter

Convert Base64 Data URIs back to downloadable images, or generate CSS, HTML, and raw Base64 Data URIs from uploaded images.

Try with a Sample Data URI:

Image Preview Frame

Paste a valid base64-encoded Data URI in the input box to instantly render the image, analyze its attributes, and download it locally.

Professional Data URI to Image Converter for Everyone

A professional, security-focused Developer tool designed to handle Data URIs (Base64) in both directions. Decode any base64 image string back to a clean visual rendering, inspect its underlying MIME type, file size, character count, and export it instantly to high-quality PNG, JPG, or SVG files. Or, upload images locally to generate clean production-ready assets: copy as raw Base64, complete HTML img tags, CSS background-image rules, or Markdown embed formats. When processing SVGs, the tool also offers smart UTF-8 URL optimization, giving you readable text-based data strings that are roughly 30% smaller than Base64 equivalents. Executed 100% locally in your browser for absolute confidentiality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Data URI to Image Converter tool.

What is a Data URI?

A Data URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a scheme that allows you to embed files—such as images—directly in-line within web documents (HTML, CSS) as a base64-encoded or URL-encoded string, bypassing the need for separate HTTP resource requests.

Why is UTF-8 URL encoding recommended for SVGs?

SVGs are text files (XML). Encoding them to Base64 creates a large binary-like string. Since it is already text, we can use simple URL-encoding (like encodeURIComponent) which results in a human-readable, editable string that is roughly 30% smaller than Base64.

Is there a size limit for encoding/decoding?

Imgira performs all calculations in-memory within your browser. There is no strict upload limit, but strings larger than 10-20MB may cause brief UI latency depending on your browser's RAM capacity.
