FAQs
What is Base64 encoding for images?
Base64 encoding converts binary image data into ASCII text format, allowing images to be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or other text-based files without requiring separate image files.
What image formats are supported?
Our tool supports all common image formats including PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, individual files are limited to 5MB to ensure optimal performance. For larger images, consider using the optimization feature.
How does the optimization feature work?
When optimization is enabled, images are automatically resized and compressed while maintaining good visual quality, resulting in smaller Base64 strings.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all processing is done locally in your browser. Images are processed entirely client-side and are never uploaded to any server.
When should I use Base64 encoded images?
Base64 images are useful for small images that need to be embedded directly in your code, reducing HTTP requests. However, for larger images, traditional image files are usually more efficient.
