Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Image to Base64 Converter?
It is a tool that takes a standard binary image file and converts it into a long string of ASCII text (Base64). This text representation can be read by browsers exactly like a normal image file.
Why would I want to convert an image to Base64?
By converting an image to Base64, you can embed the image directly inside your HTML or CSS files using a Data URI. This reduces the number of HTTP requests your website makes, potentially speeding up load times for small icons.
Are there any downsides?
Yes. Base64 strings are generally 33% larger than the original image file size. You should only use Base64 encoding for very small images, logos, or icons. Large photographs will make your HTML/CSS files massive and slow to parse.
