Common use cases

  • Embedding small icons or logos directly in HTML or CSS without a separate file request.
  • Storing image data inside JSON payloads or configuration files.
  • Testing APIs that accept or return Base64-encoded images.
  • Quickly previewing or inspecting Base64 strings from logs or API responses.

Notes

  • Runs entirely in your browser — no image data is uploaded to any server.
  • Data URL format includes the MIME prefix: data:image/png;base64,… — use Raw Base64 if you only need the encoded string.
  • Large images produce very long Base64 strings. For large files, prefer a URL reference instead.
