Image to Base64

Image to Base64 is a quick tool that converts your images into Base64-encoded strings. You upload any supported image, click one button, and get a clean Base64 output instantly. The tool accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and SVG files up to 50MB, making it suitable for both lightweight icons and large graphics.
