About the Image to Base64 Converter
This tool provides a fast and secure way to encode your images into Base64 strings. Base64 encoding is a method of representing binary data, like images, in an ASCII string format. This is particularly useful for embedding images directly into HTML, CSS, or JSON files, which can sometimes improve website loading performance by reducing the number of HTTP requests.
Common Use Cases
- Embedding in HTML: Use the
<img>tag with asrcattribute pointing to the Base64 data URI:<img src='data:image/png;base64,...'>. - Embedding in CSS: Use Base64 strings for background images in your stylesheets:
background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,...);. - Including in JSON: Store image data directly within a JSON object, which can be useful for certain API responses.
Why Use Our Tool?
Your images are processed entirely within your browser. They are never uploaded to a server, guaranteeing the privacy and security of your files.
The conversion is almost instantaneous. Simply drop your image and the Base64 string is ready to be copied.
