How to Convert an Image to Base64 (Code You Can Paste)

Base64 is a way to turn an image into text — a string of characters you can paste straight into your code, with no separate file needed. It's a handy trick for anyone working with websites and emails.

What it's for

• Embed a small image inside HTML or CSS (no external file).
• Use it in emails or in a data: URI.
• Avoid an extra request for small icons and logos.

How to convert

1. Open the Image → Base64 tool.
2. Drop in your image (PNG, JPG, etc.).
3. Copy the generated Base64 string.
4. Paste it into your HTML/CSS as a data: URI.

Do it with the image to Base64 tool.

Privacy

The conversion runs in your browser: the image is never uploaded to any server.
