About Image to Base64

Image to Base64 handles the image work that usually means opening a heavy design app. Encode an image into a Base64 data URI ready for CSS or HTML. Drop a file in, get ready-to-paste code back.

Processing happens on your device wherever the browser can do it, so files are not uploaded unless the operation genuinely requires a server.

Image to Base64 is included on Professional and above. Every run counts against your plan's credit allowance, and results are saved to your history so you can return to them or attach them to a client report.
