Data URL image extractor

This software extracts the images encoded as data URL and save them in separate image files.

It significantly reduces your SQL dump files or HTML pages by replacing the heavy data URL images by simple absolute URLs that point to the freshly extracted images.

The input file must be a text file (eg: HTML, SQL).

The images extracted can be jpg, gif or png.

What are data URLs ?

Data URLs are a Uniform Resource Identifier scheme that allow you to include data items inline in a web page as if they were being referenced as external resources.

Here is a example of html with an image encoded as data URL:

<img width="11" height="14" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGOD

How to use it ?

Select the source file
Select the export folder
Enter the url path where the images will be uploaded (eg: http://www.example.com/images/)
Click launch!

The software will create a version of the source file where the data URLs are replaced by a simple URL. It will also create an images folder that contains the extracted images.
