Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I convert files to Base64?
Converting images or fonts to Base64 allows developers to embed assets directly inside HTML or CSS files. This reduces the number of HTTP requests a browser has to make, speeding up website load times.
Are there file size limits when using Base64?
Yes. Base64 encoding increases file sizes by approximately 33% compared to raw binary. It is best used for small assets (under 1MB) like icons, logos, or short audio files.
Does this tool store my uploaded files?
No. The file conversion runs locally using the HTML5 FileReader API. Your files remain entirely on your device and are never transmitted over the internet.
