🖼️ Image to Base64

Image to Base64 Converter

Convert any image to a Base64 encoded string or data URI instantly in your browser. Use Base64 encoded images to embed them directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript without separate file requests.

Base64 encoding is useful for small images like icons and logos where eliminating an HTTP request improves performance. Note that Base64 increases file size by approximately 33%.

When should I use Base64 images?

Use Base64 for small images under 10KB like icons and simple graphics. For larger images, regular file references are more efficient as Base64 increases size and prevents browser caching.

What is a data URI?

A data URI is a Base64 string prefixed with the MIME type (e.g., data:image/png;base64,...). It can be used directly in img src attributes or CSS background-image properties.
