Convert base64 encoded files into images in Powershell

I had an andoid SMS backup in XML format, that I has split each element into a base64 encoded file, 1 per image.  I used this to convert the file into a jpeg.

 

#Convert base64 encoded files into images

#used for pulling data out of android sms backups

$fileToDecode=get-content "base64.file"

$bytes=[convert]::FromBase64String($fileToDecode)

[io.file]::WriteAllBytes("output.jpeg",$bytes)
