let base64String = 'data:text;base64,TWFuIGlzIGRpc3Rpbmd1aXNoZWQsIG5vdCBvbmx5IGJ5IGhpcyByZWFzb24sIGJ1dCBieSB0aGlzIHNpbmd1bGFyIHBhc3Npb24gZnJvbSBvdGhlciBhbmltYWxzLCB3aGljaCBpcyBhIGx1c3Qgb2YgdGhlIG1pbmQsIHRoYXQgYnkgYSBwZXJzZXZlcmFuY2Ugb2YgZGVsaWdodCBpbiB0aGUgY29udGludWVkIGFuZCBpbmRlZmF0aWdhYmxlIGdlbmVyYXRpb24gb2Yga25vd2xlZGdlLCBleGNlZWRzIHRoZSBzaG9ydCB2ZWhlbWVuY2Ugb2YgYW55IGNhcm5hbCBwbGVhc3VyZS4=';

let base64Path = base64String.split(';base64,').pop();

let buff = new Buffer(base64Path, 'Base64');

console.log(buff);

mammoth.convertToHtml({ buffer :  buff })                
 .then(function(error,result){

    if(error){console.error(error)}

   else{

       console.log('convert');              
       console.log(result);
   }

  })

.done();

});

No, i just want to convert the base64 into html and get the result and store in the result variable. but it is somehow creating a zip file when i'm specifying the buffer in the mammoth.convertToHTML. here :-- mammoth.convertToHtml({ buffer : buff3 }) — Hanifa

What is your node version?

new Buffer(base64Path, 'base64');

This method is for Node.js v5.11.1 and below, if your Node.js version is v6.0.0 or above, you should convert in this way

let buff = Buffer.from(base64Path, 'base64');
