About this tool

A Base64 data URL embeds an image directly in your CSS, HTML or JSON as text, so it loads without a separate network request. It is handy for small icons and inline assets; large images are better left as separate files because Base64 adds about 33% to the size.

Encoding runs in your browser and the tool gives you the raw data URL plus ready-to-paste CSS and HTML snippets.

How to use it

  1. Add an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or SVG).
  2. Click Convert to Base64.
  3. Copy the data URL, or the CSS or HTML snippet.

Common problems

The data URL is huge.
Base64 grows with the image. Compress or resize the image first, and reserve inlining for small assets.
