Retrofit is encoding your byte array to base 64. So decode your string and you are good to go. In this way you can retrieve a list of images.

public static Bitmap getBitmapByEncodedString(String base64String) {
    String imageDataBytes = base64String.substring(base64String.indexOf(",")+1);
    InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64.decode(imageDataBytes.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT));
    return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream);
}
