Upload an image to encode to Base64

A tiny icon embedded directly into a CSS file as Base64 text skips an entire separate HTTP request a browser would otherwise have to make just to fetch a small image file, and an email's HTML body that can't reliably load external images at all needs that same image data embedded directly inline instead. This tool converts an image into a Base64 data URL or decodes one back into an actual image file, moving in either direction between the two.

Useful for embedding a small icon directly into a CSS file as a data URL to avoid an extra network request, converting an image into Base64 to paste into an email's HTML body where external images might get blocked, or decoding a Base64 data URL found in a webpage's source back into a downloadable image file.

Quick answers for Base64 Image Converter

Does it show me a preview of the image, or just the raw text?
Both. Encoding a file renders the actual image using the generated data URL, and decoding a pasted Base64 string reconstructs the image bytes and displays it the same way, not just a text box full of characters.
What image formats can I encode?
Any format the browser can read as a file, including JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. The output data URL embeds the correct MIME type automatically based on what you uploaded.
Can I decode Base64 that isn't a full data URL?
Yes. If you paste raw Base64 without the data:image/...;base64, prefix, the tool assumes image/png and still decodes and previews it.
