Base64 Image Converter

Base64 image encoding is a method that converts binary image data into a text-based format using ASCII characters. This process creates a data URI that can be embedded directly into HTML, CSS, or other text-based formats without requiring separate image files.

How Does It Work?

When you upload an image to our converter, it reads the binary data and encodes it using Base64 algorithm. The result is a long string that represents your image, prefixed with a MIME type identifier like data:image/png;base64,.

Common Use Cases

• Email Templates: Embed images directly in HTML emails to avoid external dependencies
• CSS Sprites: Include small icons and graphics directly in stylesheets
• Single-File Applications: Create self-contained HTML files with embedded images
• API Responses: Send image data as part of JSON responses
• Offline Applications: Ensure images load even without internet connectivity

Benefits & Considerations

How to Use the Converter

1. Click "Choose File" or drag and drop your image (max 5MB)
2. Preview your image to ensure it uploaded correctly
3. Toggle the prefix option based on your needs:
   • With prefix: Ready to use in HTML/CSS (e.g., src="data:image...")
   • Without prefix: Just the Base64 string for custom implementations
4. Copy the generated Base64 string using the copy button
5. Paste it wherever you need embedded image data
