This page provides information on the formatting and decoding of check images returned by the check image API. 

## Image format

The API returns both the front and back images of a check as Base64-encoded strings. Base64 encoding converts binary data, such as images, into text suitable for transmission over the internet.

## Decoding Base64 string

To render or save the images, clients must decode the Base64 string. Most programming environments provide built-in libraries or tools for decoding Base64. Once decoded, the images can be integrated into your system or workflow as needed.
