Overview
Use it when the format needs to change, not the meaning
Use Image → Base64 when a file needs to become an embeddable string or data URI.
Inline assets
Turn a logo or screenshot into a Base64 string for a text-only destination.
Embeddable previews
Generate a data URI when the next step expects one copyable value.
Supported inputs
Bring clean source text and keep the direction straight
- Accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, and BMP files up to 5 MB.
- Drag-and-drop and browse upload both behave the same once the file is selected.
- Wrap settings let you choose how the output is formatted for the next step.
Walk through it
Follow the same sequence you see in the tool
Workflow
Convert an image to Base64
Use this flow when you want a copyable encoded string or data URI.
- Upload the image you want to encode.
- Choose whether you need wrapped output or a data URI.
- Run the conversion and copy the result that matches the destination.
What you get
Check the result before you copy it into the next step
Base64 string
The encoded text is ready for plain-text fields or text-based workflows.
Data URI
A copy-ready data URI appears when you need the image inlined.
Metadata card
File type, size, and dimensions help you confirm the upload before you copy it.
Avoid these mistakes
Small input problems create the biggest conversion errors
Uploading the wrong file
Check the filename and preview before you copy the output.
Choosing the wrong output form
Pick Base64 text or a data URI based on the next destination.
Glossary
Decode the terms before you act on them
This section translates the most technical labels on the page into plain language so you can interpret the output without opening another tab.
Base64
Base64 is a text encoding that turns binary file data into characters that are easier to move through text-only systems.
Data URI
A data URI is an inline string that combines a file’s media type with its Base64-encoded content so it can be embedded directly.
Media type
A media type is the file type label, such as `image/png` or `image/svg+xml`, that tells the next system what kind of content it is receiving.
