Base64 encoding lets you embed image data directly into HTML, CSS, or JSON by converting binary image files (PNG, JPEG, GIF) into a compact, text‑only string.
Instead of linking to an external image file, you include a data: URI like < img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUg…">, which browsers decode back into pixels on the fly.
This technique is ideal for small icons, logos, or inline graphics where reducing HTTP requests improves performance and simplifies distribution.

When you convert an image to Base64, you preserve the exact visual content while making it easy to bundle with code—no separate file hosting required. Our tool lets you adjust image quality and dimensions before encoding, so you can balance output size against clarity.

Whether you’re embedding inline CSS background images, sending small illustrations in emails, or crafting self‑contained snippets for documentation, Base64 encoding streamlines your workflow, improves load times, and keeps your assets portable and secure.
