Tool Features

Bidirectional Conversion

Supports two conversion directions: image to Base64 and Base64 to image. Image to Base64 converts image files to Base64 encoded strings, Base64 to image restores Base64 strings to image files. The conversion process is simple and fast, supporting multiple image formats.

Multiple Output Formats

When converting images to Base64, supports multiple output formats: Data URL format (data:image/...;base64,...) can be directly used in HTML img tags or CSS background-image; Base64 only format contains only the encoded string; HTML tag format generates complete img tag; CSS background format generates complete background-image style.

Real-time Preview and Quick Copy

After conversion, you can preview results in real-time. Base64 to image mode can directly preview converted images, click to zoom. Image to Base64 mode can view complete Base64 encoded strings, supports one-click copy to clipboard, convenient for use in code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Base64 encoding affect image quality?
No. Base64 only encodes image data into text format, it does not involve image compression or quality loss. Base64 encoded images have exactly the same quality as the original images, only the data format has changed. Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33%, which is determined by the encoding mechanism.
Will my images be uploaded to the server?
No, all processing is done in your browser. Your image files never leave your device, completely protecting your privacy.
What scenarios can Base64 encoding be used for?
Base64 encoding is commonly used in the following scenarios: 1) Directly embedding images in HTML (data URI), reducing HTTP requests; 2) Using background images in CSS; 3) Transmitting image data in JSON, XML and other text formats; 4) Using image data directly in code without external files. The tool supports multiple output formats to meet different usage scenarios.
