About This PNG ↔ Base64 Converter
This tool allows you to convert PNG images to Base64-encoded strings. You can upload your image file or provide a remote image URL. Additionally, you can choose between generating a **Data URI** (which includes the image type) or just a raw **Base64 string** without the prefix, and several other formats for embedding images in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or JSON.
Base64 encoding helps embed image data directly in HTML or CSS files, making it convenient for quick prototyping or for embedding small images (like icons) directly into your code.
