Supports JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG — processed locally

Notes

  • • All processing is 100% local — your image never leaves the browser
  • • Base64 encoding increases file size by ~33% — use Data URLs for embedding in HTML/CSS
  • • For large images, prefer external hosting (e.g. CDN) over base64 embedding

How to use / Why use this tool / FAQ

How to use

Drop or click to select any image (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG). The Base64 output appears instantly. Choose your output format — Base64 only, Data URL, CSS background, HTML img tag, or Markdown — then copy or download.

Why use this tool

Embed images directly in HTML, CSS, or Markdown without hosting them. Ideal for email templates, inline CSS, single-file documents, and small icons. Everything runs locally — your image never leaves the browser.

FAQ

What image formats are supported?
Any image format your browser can read: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG, BMP, AVIF, and more.
Why is the Base64 output larger than the original?
Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33%. This is a trade-off for embedding data directly in text formats.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing uses the browser's FileReader API — your image never leaves your device.
