# How to save base64 images from editor to server path.

i want to save base64 [images](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1067/what-is-the-php-predefined-variable-that-tells-the-what-type-of-images-that-php-support) from [editor](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/78/how-avoid-the-html-tag-and-remove-the-formating-of-copy-in-ajax-editor) to [server](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/43769/what-is-serverless-architecture-is-it-worth-switching-over) path.

Try to use it:

```
