Decent tools for decoding images

Question
I have a HEX dump which I'm told is a PNG file and hence want to convert it into the PNG so I can view/manipulate appropriately.
I've searched all over the internet but can't find any good tools out there to do this. I was perhaps thinking a plugin for GIMP or otherwise?
I'd love your suggestions.
Solution
If you believe it is just a Base64 encoding, try uploading it to http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp (first Google result for "base64 decoder upload"), choosing the options to decode, and export to a binary file.
Otherwise, if you could post a portion of the file in question, that would be of much assistance.
OTHER TIPS
You could try ImageMagick. Is not a GUI, but has a lot of features as format conversions.
Tell us which OS are you using.
