Image to Base64
Convert an image file to Base64 or Data URL for CSS, HTML, email templates, and API tests.
Suitable Input Types
- PNG, JPEG, SVG, or supported image files
- Small icons and inline assets
- Images prepared for Data URL usage
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Open the image Base64 workspace.
- Upload an image file from your device.
- Copy the Data URL or raw Base64 result.
- Use the result in CSS, HTML, templates, or a test payload.
Common Issues in This Scenario
Large files create long strings
Use Base64 for small assets; large images can bloat HTML or CSS.
Data URL vs raw Base64
Data URL includes the MIME prefix; raw Base64 only contains the encoded data.
Preview before sharing
Check the preview to make sure the encoded image still matches the source.
