Question 1

What is Base64 image encoding?

Accepted Answer

Base64 encoding converts binary image data into an ASCII text string. This allows you to embed images directly into HTML, CSS, or JSON files using data URIs, eliminating the need for separate image file requests.

Question 2

What image formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

This tool supports PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, and GIF image formats. Simply drag and drop or select any image in these formats to convert it to Base64.

Question 3

Is there a file size limit?

Accepted Answer

There is no strict file size limit, but images larger than 1MB will produce very large Base64 strings. A warning is shown for files exceeding 1MB. For optimal performance, keep images under 1MB.
