Base64 to WebP Decoder
Decode Base64 to WebP image - preview, copy, download. Detects declared vs actual format. Free, client-side, instant, offline, secure.
- Runs in your browser
- Nothing uploaded
- Free, no sign-up
Decode Base64 (raw or data:image/webp;base64,... URI) into a WebP image. Preview in-browser, copy to clipboard, or download. Detects magic bytes so you’ll see if your input is actually PNG or JPEG pretending to be WebP.
How to Use Base64 to WebP Decoder
- Paste or upload. Drop a
.txtfile onto the upload area, click “Upload .txt”, or paste the Base64 directly into the textarea. Both raw Base64 anddata:image/webp;base64,...data URIs work. - Watch the magic-byte detection. The stats line shows
detected: webp,detected: png, etc - read from the first 12 bytes after decoding, independent of any declared prefix. - Spot declaration mismatches. If the input says
data:image/webp;base64,...but the actual bytes are JPEG, you’ll get a warning toast. This catches mislabelled Data URIs that other tools silently accept. - Check the dimensions. Once the preview loads, the stats line picks up
1920×1080(or whatever) from the image’snaturalWidth/naturalHeight- useful for verifying your encoded asset is the size you expected. - Copy the image. The Copy button writes the Blob to clipboard via
ClipboardItem- paste directly into Google Docs, Figma, Slack, etc. If the browser blocks image clipboard for this format (mostly non-PNG), we fall back to copying the data URI string. - Download the file. The Download button names the file by the detected format - if your input was PNG disguised as WebP, you get
decoded-….pnginstead of a broken.webp. - Keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+Enter(orCmd+Enteron Mac) decodes the current input.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is WebP?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers better compression than JPEG and PNG while supporting transparency and animation. It is widely supported across browsers.
Can I decode any Base64 as WebP?
The tool validates that the decoded bytes start with the WebP signature (RIFF container). If the content is actually a different format, the tool warns you and shows the detected type.
What is the declared vs actual format check?
Some Base64 strings have a data URI prefix claiming a MIME type. The tool compares that declaration to the detected format from the decoded bytes, catching mismatches.
Can I preview the image?
Yes. After decoding, the WebP image is rendered inline so you can verify it is the expected picture before downloading.
Does the tool support URL-safe Base64?
Yes. Both standard Base64 and URL-safe Base64 with – _ are handled, along with missing padding auto-fix.
Is my image data private?
Yes. All decoding runs in your browser. The Base64 string and the resulting WebP image never touch a server.
Is this tool free?
Yes. Completely free with no sign-up, no usage limits, and no watermarks. Open the page and use it as many times as you need.
Can I download the WebP file?
Yes. After a successful decode, a Download button saves the result as a proper .webp file ready to use in browsers or image editors.
What browsers can display WebP?
All modern browsers support WebP: Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, and Edge. For older browsers, convert the WebP to JPEG or PNG after decoding.
How large an image can I decode?
There is no strict limit, but very large Base64 strings (tens of megabytes) may be slow to decode in the browser. Most web WebP files decode in under a second.
