Frequently Asked Questions

What is Image to Base64 conversion?

Image to Base64 conversion transforms binary image data into a text string format using Base64 encoding. This allows you to embed images directly in your code or transmit them as text.

Why convert images to Base64?

Converting images to Base64 is useful for:

  • Embedding images directly in HTML/CSS/JS
  • Reducing HTTP requests
  • Creating self-contained documents
  • Email template development
