Image to Base64

About the Image to Base64

Image to Base64 converts any uploaded image into a data-URI string you can paste directly into HTML or CSS. Ideal for eliminating extra HTTP requests for tiny icons and for embedding illustrations in emails.

How to use

1. Upload an image (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG).
2. Copy the generated data: URL.
3. Paste it into your CSS as background-image: url(...) or into an <img src>.

Benefits & key features

• Saves round-trips for small icons (under 4 KB gives best results).
• Lets you embed images in email templates where external images get blocked.
• Runs locally; private photos never leave the browser.
• Copy button produces a clean, whitespace-free string.

Pro tip

Inline only small assets. Large Base64 payloads bloat your HTML, slow parsing and actually hurt performance — rule of thumb: <4 KB.
