Is Image to Base64 safe? Do my files get uploaded?

No upload required. All encoding happens in your browser using the FileReader API. Your image never leaves your device.

Does Image to Base64 work on mobile, iPhone, and Android?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser including Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android.

When should I use Base64-encoded images?

Base64 lets you embed images directly into HTML or CSS as a data URI, avoiding an extra HTTP request. It's best for small icons or critical above-the-fold images; for large or many images, regular files served from a CDN remain more efficient.

How large does the Base64 string get?

Base64 encoding increases size by roughly 33%. A 30 KB image becomes about a 40 KB string. Most browsers handle data URIs up to about 2 MB without issues, but very large strings can slow page parsing.
