About converting images to Base64

The tool encodes an image as a base64 data URI and gives it to you as a text file. You can paste that text directly into CSS, HTML, or JSON to embed the image without a separate file.

Base64 makes the data about a third larger than the original, so it suits small images such as icons rather than large photos.

FAQ

Paste the data URI directly into a CSS background-image, an HTML img src, or anywhere else a self-contained image string is useful.
