About the Image to Base64

Image to Base64 uses FileReader to create a data URL that includes MIME type and encoded bytes. No recompression occurs, so the represented file bytes match the selected file.

How to use the Image to Base64

  1. Choose an image.
  2. Convert it to a data URL.
  3. Copy or download the text only when inline data is appropriate.

Practical tips

  • Base64 increases byte length by roughly one third before surrounding markup.
  • Avoid embedding large images directly in HTML or CSS.
