Frequently asked questions

Where can I use the output?

Anywhere a URL goes: CSS background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,…), <img src="…">, fetch payloads and more.

How much bigger does the file get?

Base64 encoding adds roughly 33% overhead. It is best for small images; large photos are usually better served as separate files.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The encoding happens locally — the tool even works offline.
