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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You could try ImageMagick. Is not a GUI, but has a lot of features as format conversions.

Tell us which OS are you using.
