(Java) Decode Base64 Image String (GIF, JPG, etc.) and Save to File

I have an XML response that includes a base 64 encoded image string (UPS label). It's a huge string and I need to save it as a gif file on my users pc.

This example shows how to do it..

        return;

    CkXml xml = new CkXml();
    success = xml.LoadXml(x);

    //  Get the base64 string:
    String gifBase64 = xml.getChildContent("def");

    System.out.println(gifBase64);

    //  Load bd with the base64 decoded bytes.
    bd.Clear();
    bd.AppendEncoded(gifBase64,"base64");

    //  Save to a GIF file.
    success = bd.WriteFile("qa_output/xsmall.gif");
