What is Base64?

Base64 refers to encoding used to convert files of binary data, such as pictures, into alphanumeric form. This is common in:  

• Website development, such as within CSS or HTML image tags 
• API data transfers 
• Emailing images 
• Saving images within text files such as JSON  

A Base64 string normally starts with a suffix; for instance:  

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

Why Convert Base64 to Image?

Encoded images can simply be viewed by obtaining their base string, converting it, and storing it for later retrieval. Changing the base64 representation of images into files greatly aids users in effortlessly debugging the image data that is sent through API or code procedures. Extracting images for storage or distribution purposes significantly enhances the users' experience with the images.
