Base64 encoding transforms images into text strings that can be embedded directly in HTML or CSS. This eliminates additional HTTP requests for small images, resulting in faster page loads. It's ideal for creating standalone HTML files, email templates that bypass image blocking, and self-contained demos for clients.
Our converter handles all major image formats used in web development:
Embed base64 images directly in HTML using the data URI format in the src attribute:
<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4RiDRXhpZgAATU0AKgA..."
width="100"
height="50"
alt="Embedded image" />Use base64 strings as CSS background images for seamless styling:
.my-element {
background: url('data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4RiDRXhpZgAATU0AKgA...');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}The encoded results are compatible with all major browser and versions listed below. Please note that some older browsers might have limitations with clipboard functionality.
