What is Base64 Image Encoding?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data (like images) into ASCII text format. This allows images to be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, JSON, or other text-based formats without needing separate image files. Our free online converter handles this conversion seamlessly.

Raw Base64: iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA... (just the encoded string)
Supported Formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, SVG, and more
Use Cases: Email attachments, web development, API responses, data storage

Common applications: Embedding images in HTML/CSS, storing images in databases, sending images via JSON APIs, creating data URLs for web applications, and converting images for use in code without external file dependencies.
