Image to Base64

Por qué la gente usa esta herramienta

Image to Base64 turns a local image file into a data URI you can embed in HTML, CSS, JSON, or email — and decodes pasted Base64 strings back into a previewable image you can download.

• Embed small icons or signatures inline in HTML email or CSS.
• Paste an image into a JSON or YAML config file as a data URI.
• Preview a Base64 string copied from a debugger or API response.

Cómo usarla

1. 1Drop or pick an image file to encode.
2. 2Copy the data URI directly, or switch to the decode panel and paste a Base64 string to preview the original image.
3. 3Use the Download link to save a decoded image to disk.

Best practices

• Only inline small images — Base64 inflates payload size by ~33%.
• Use the data URI format for images that ship with HTML email templates.
• Prefer regular <img src> URLs for anything served by a normal web server.
• Strip metadata before encoding if the image contains EXIF or location data.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Do not inline large images — they bloat HTML and hurt cache reuse.
• Do not paste secrets or private screenshots into shared Base64 strings.
• Do not assume every browser handles very long data URIs; some have length limits.
• Do not base64-encode images that already ship from a CDN.
