About the Image to Base64 Converter
This tool converts an image file into a Base64 string. This is particularly useful for embedding images directly into HTML or CSS files, which can help reduce the number of HTTP requests a browser needs to make, potentially speeding up page load times. The entire process is done client-side, so your images are never uploaded to a server.
What is a Base64 Image?
A Base64 string is a way to represent binary data, like an image, using only text characters. When you convert an image to Base64, you get a long string of text that can be embedded directly into your HTML (in an `![]()
` tag's `src` attribute) or CSS (in a `background-image` URL). This can be useful for reducing the number of HTTP requests a browser needs to make, which can sometimes speed up page load times for small images.
