A preview of your image is shown so you can confirm the conversion is correct.
Base64 is a way to represent binary data, like an image, using only text characters. Converting an image to Base64 produces a data URL you can embed directly in HTML or CSS, so the image travels inside your code instead of as a separate file request.
Drop in an image and the tool returns the full data URL, ready to paste into an img tag or a CSS background. Everything happens in your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server.
Embedding is handy for small icons, logos, and inline assets in emails or single-file pages, because it removes a separate network request and keeps everything in one place. It is also useful when you cannot host a file separately, such as in a self-contained HTML document or a CSS-in-JS component.
Base64 encoding makes the data about a third larger than the original file, and embedded images are not cached separately by the browser. For large or frequently reused images, a normal file reference is usually faster. The sweet spot for embedding is small images that appear once or twice.
For HTML, paste it into the src of an img tag: <img src="data:image/png;base64,...">. For CSS, use it in a background: background-image: url("data:image/png;base64,..."). The prefix before the comma tells the browser the file type and that the data is Base64-encoded, so keep it intact.
