When to encode an image as Base64
Base64 image encoding is useful for small inline assets, quick HTML or CSS examples, test fixtures, email snippets, and places where a data URL is easier to move than a separate image file.
Preview before copying the data URL
Open the preview in a larger view before copying the encoded output. This helps catch wrong source images, screenshots, icons, or placeholder files before the long Base64 string is used elsewhere.

Base64 Image Encoder FAQ
Can I preview the image before copying Base64?
Yes. The tool shows the selected image preview and can open it larger so you can verify the asset before copying the data URL.
Should I use Base64 for large images?
Usually no. Base64 is best for small inline assets. Large images can make HTML, CSS, or JSON payloads much heavier.
Does Base64 compression make images smaller?
No. Base64 encoding usually increases text size. Compress or resize the image before encoding if file size matters.
