About the Image to Base64 Converter

This tool converts an image file into a Base64-encoded data string. Base64 is a way to represent binary data (like an image) as plain text. This is extremely useful for web developers who want to embed an image directly into an HTML `` tag or a CSS `background-image` URL. Embedding images this way, known as a data URI, can reduce the number of HTTP requests a browser needs to make, which can sometimes speed up page load times for small images.

Our tool is 100% client-side. When you select an image, it is never uploaded to our server. All processing is done securely in your browser using the JavaScript `FileReader` API. This makes the tool incredibly fast and guarantees your privacy.
