Encode an image as a Base64 data URL

Turn a JPG, PNG, or WebP file into a ready-to-copy data URL for HTML, CSS, JSON, or development fixtures. The image and encoded text stay in this browser tab.

How it works

01

Choose an image

Open a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10MB from your device.

02

Encode locally

The browser reads the file bytes and creates a MIME-prefixed Base64 data URL without sending either form to a server.

03

Copy the data URL

Review its media type and character count, then copy the complete value to your clipboard.

What stays private here

  • The source image is read in this browser tab.
  • Base64 text is created locally from the file bytes.
  • No image bytes or encoded text are sent to Peelaway.
  • Copied text goes only to your device clipboard.

Questions about this tool

What does the result contain?

It starts with the image MIME type and Base64 marker, followed by the encoded file bytes. You can use the complete data URL where a browser or API accepts that representation.

Does Base64 make an image smaller?

No. Base64 usually adds roughly one third to the binary size before surrounding text or compression. It is useful for embedding and transport, not image compression.

Is the image or encoded text uploaded?

No. File reading, encoding, display, and clipboard copying stay in this browser tab. Neither image bytes nor Base64 content is included in Peelaway analytics.
