Image to Base64 Converter
Convert an image into a Base64 text string you can embed directly in code.
Processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.
How It Works
Choose an image. A ready-to-use data: URI appears, which you can copy directly into HTML or CSS.
Example
A small icon becomes data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo... which you can paste directly into an <img src="..."> tag.
Frequently Asked Questions
