Base64 encoding converts binary image data into ASCII text strings. This allows images to be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON without requiring separate image files.
Base64-encoded images are larger than the original files (about 33% larger), but they can be embedded inline, reducing HTTP requests and simplifying deployment.
All processing happens entirely in your browser, ensuring your images remain private and secure.
