Image to Base64.
Create a Base64 data URL from an image locally, then copy it into HTML, CSS, or a JSON payload.
Helpful guide
Embed a small image without a separate URL
Base64 encoding represents binary image data as text. It can be useful for small icons, email templates, prototypes, and inline assets, though large images usually work better as normal files.
How to use it
01
Choose an image from your device.
02
Wait for the local data URL to be generated.
03
Copy the Base64 string into your project or document.
Frequently asked questions
Is the image sent to a server?
No. FileReader converts the image locally in your browser.
What is a data URL?
A data URL contains the media type and encoded file contents in one text value.
Should I use Base64 for large images?
Usually not. Base64 adds text overhead, so it is better suited to small assets.
