Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The image is read entirely in your browser using the FileReader API. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.

What is a Data URI?

A Data URI is a string that encodes file data directly in the URL format: data:{mimeType};base64,{data}. It can be used in HTML img tags, CSS, and more.

What formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF images are supported for Base64 encoding.

How big will the Base64 output be?

Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33%. A 100KB image will produce roughly 133KB of Base64 text.
