This tool turns an image into Base64 text. Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP or SVG file of up to 15 MB and you get three ready-to-use outputs: a full data URL for use in an img tag, the raw Base64 string, and a CSS background-image line. It also shows the file name, type, size and dimensions.
Embedding an image as a data URL saves a separate request and is handy for tiny icons, email templates and single-file pages. Base64 makes the data about a third larger, and embedded images cannot be cached on their own, so it is best for small images. For large photos, a normal image file is usually better.
The conversion is done in your browser and your image is not uploaded.
