Frequently Asked Questions
What is Base64?
It's a method to encode binary data (like images) into ASCII text characters, making it safe to transmit over protocols that only support text (like Email or HTML).
Why does the file size increase?
Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33% because it uses 4 characters to represent every 3 bytes of data.
Is this tool secure?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser via JavaScript. We do not store or see your files.
Can I convert images for CSS?
Yes. Upload an image, and use the "Copy CSS" button to get the background-image: url('data:...') code ready for your stylesheet.
How do I decode?
Switch to "Text Mode", check the "Decode Mode" box, paste your Base64 string, and click Process.
Is there a file limit?
The limit depends on your browser's memory. We generally recommend files under 5MB for optimal performance.
