The Image to Base64 Converter turns an image file into a Base64-encoded data URL that you can embed directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON. This is helpful when you want to include small icons or inline images without managing separate file requests. By converting an image to a Base64 string, you can paste it directly into code or configuration files and keep everything in a single place.

To use the tool, you select an image from your device and it is loaded into your browser. The converter then produces a data URL that starts with the MIME type followed by the Base64 content. You can copy this value and use it in img tags, CSS background-image declarations, or other contexts that support data URLs. For larger images it is usually better to use normal files, but for small assets this approach can be convenient.

Processing is done completely on your device; the image is not uploaded to a server. The tool also shows a preview so you can confirm you selected the correct file. It is a practical utility for developers, designers, and technical writers working with self-contained examples or simple prototypes.
