What is an Image to Base64 Converter?
Base64 is a method to convert binary data (like an image) into a string of plain text. This tool instantly reads your image file and converts it into a **Data URL**.
A Data URL looks like this:
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo...This long string of text is **the entire image**, which you can now embed directly into HTML or CSS code.
Pros & Cons of Using Base64 Images
| Pros (When to use it) | Cons (When to avoid it) |
|---|---|
| Reduces HTTP requests (no separate file to load). | Base64 strings are ~33% larger than the original image file. |
| Embeds images directly in HTML/CSS, which is great for small icons or logos. | The browser cannot cache the image separately. |
| Prevents images from being blocked by some ad-blockers. | Not good for large images (e.g., photos), as it makes the HTML/CSS file huge. |
