Why Convert JPG to Base64?

Base64 encoding represents binary data (like images) as a string of ASCII characters. This is useful for:

  • Embedding Images in HTML/CSS: Avoid separate image requests.
  • Web APIs: Some APIs accept images as Base64.
  • Data URIs: Create self-contained data URIs.
  • Avoiding Cross-Origin Issues: Base64 can bypass some CORS restrictions.

Key Features

  • • Include or exclude the "data:image/jpeg;base64," prefix.
  • • Option to wrap long Base64 strings.
  • • Adjustable line length for wrapping.
  • • Copy Base64 string to clipboard.
  • • Download Base64 string as a text file.

How to Use

  1. Upload a JPG image using the file uploader.
  2. The image will be automatically converted to Base64.
  3. Settings:
    • "Include Data URI Prefix": Adds the `data:image/jpeg;base64,` prefix. Required for `img` tags or CSS `url()`.
    • "Wrap Long Lines": Breaks the Base64 string into multiple lines.
    • "Characters per line" (if wrapping): Sets the maximum line length.
  4. Click the "Apply Settings" button to re-process the output with your chosen options.
  5. Copy the Base64 string or download it as a .txt file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Data URI?

A Data URI embeds data directly within a web page. For images, it starts with `data:image/jpeg;base64,` followed by the Base64 data, allowing you to include the image without a separate file.

Why would I want to wrap the Base64 lines?

Base64 encoded images are long strings. Wrapping them makes them easier to handle and avoids line length limits.

Are my uploaded images stored?

No. The conversion happens in your browser. Images are not uploaded to any server.

Can I convert other image types to Base64?

This tool is specifically for JPG/JPEG images, but similar tools could be built for other formats.
