HOW TO USE IT
Image to Base64, step by step
- Choose a static JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 5MB.
- Encode the image to produce a full data URL including its MIME prefix.
- Copy the output or download it as a text file.
A text representation of the same image
Base64 represents binary bytes using text characters. The data URL adds the image type and an encoding marker before those characters. It can be useful for a small inline asset or a test fixture, but the text is usually about a third larger than the original binary file before other compression.
Encoding is not encryption
Anyone with the data URL can recover the image. The original bytes, including embedded metadata, are preserved. Avoid pasting private data URLs into public issue trackers or examples. For normal website photos, a separate image file is often easier to cache and maintain than a very large inline string.
File support and export limits
Accepts one static JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5MB and 40 million pixels. Encoding preserves the original file bytes and any metadata inside them. It does not resize or compress the image. Read the image export guide.
Will it reduce the file size?
No. Base64 makes a text representation and normally increases its size. Use the compressor before encoding if a smaller image is needed.
Does it work with SVG?
This tool accepts static JPG, PNG and WebP only. It does not encode SVG or arbitrary files.
