When Base64 Converter Went Wrong, Here's What I Did
20% redo rate down to zero. The two-pass method using our image to base64 converter — validate first, convert second.

Stop guessing when to convert. I use our base64 image decoder — here is the workflow that ended the redo cycle.
The one assumption that causes most export failures — and the two checks that prevent them. Our file encoder bakes them in.

What base64 decoding actually does, why the output sometimes looks like garbage, and how to tell valid base64 from corrupted input.
JSON can't hold binary, so files become base64. The size math, the + / encoding gotcha, and when to push back and use real file upload.
That giant data:image string in your API response? Turn it back into a viewable, downloadable image in seconds — no command line required.
A logo as a data URL sounds clean — until your HTML balloons by 33%. The real trade-off of base64-embedding images, and a hard size cutoff I use daily.
Encode text to base64 in the terminal or browser. The naive btoa() call corrupts UTF-8 — here's the fix that handles Chinese, emoji, and everything else.
