What is an Image to Base64 Converter?
An Image to Base64 converter is a tool that transforms an image file (like a PNG or JPG) into a Base64 string. This string is a text representation of the image's binary data, which can be easily embedded and transmitted in text-based formats like HTML, CSS, or JSON.
Why Use Our Image to Base64 Converter?
- Embedding Images: To embed images directly into your HTML or CSS files as `data:image/...` URLs, which can reduce the number of HTTP requests and improve page load times for small images.
- API Payloads: To send images as part of a JSON payload to an API, where binary data is not directly supported.
- Data Storage: To store images in a database or other text-based storage system.
- No Server Needed: To perform the conversion entirely in your browser, ensuring your images remain private and secure.
