Image to Base64 Converter Online Tool

This online Image to Base64 Converter tool helps you to convert image into base64 string, to help you embed images within html.

Embed Image in HTML can reduce the http connection when a user load a webpage, because the information of the image is within the HTML code. It's good for icon and other small image, but not a good idea to use embed image when the image size is over 2Mb. The use case:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaaama..." width="300" height="100" alt="base64 image"/>

Another use case for Base64 Image is in CSS:

.body {
    background: url('data:image/png;base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaaama...');
}
