What is Base64 encoding for images?

Base64 encoding converts binary image data into a text string that can be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code without requiring separate image files.

Why should I convert images to Base64?

Converting images to Base64 reduces HTTP requests, can be useful for small icons or logos, and allows you to embed images directly in code without external file dependencies.

Is my image data safe?

Yes, all conversion happens in your browser. No images are uploaded to any server, ensuring your files remain completely private.
