Clear scope: image files

Image-to-Base64 — not a plain-text encoder
Pix-8 Base64 Encoder reads a local image file and outputs a Base64 string in the browser — not a text box that converts strings or paragraphs to Base64. Toggle the data URL prefix, review character and byte size, then copy in one step. It does not encode plain text, batch-process folders, or decode Base64 back to images.
Why use image-to-Base64 in the browser?
Generic Base64 converters often upload files or mix text and image workflows in one cloud form. Pix-8 keeps image encoding local — the practical fit when you need to convert assets to Base64 for inline CSS or HTML without routing image files through a remote server.
Client-side by default
Your image is read and encoded in the browser tab. Pix-8 never receives your pixel data during encoding or copy.
Copy-ready output
Optional data:image/…;base64, prefix, character and byte readout, and one-click copy — formatted for CSS, HTML, or email templates.
How it works
Step 1
Open Base64 Encoder
Navigate to Pix-8 Base64 Encoder in your browser — no install, no account, and no upload dialog.
Step 2
Load an image file
Choose an image from your device — not a text field. The browser reads the file on-device and converts it to a Base64 string.
Step 3
Copy the encoded string
Review character and byte size, then copy the output for CSS, HTML, or email. Plain-text Base64 encoding is not supported.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert plain text to Base64 with this tool?
No. Pix-8 Base64 Encoder converts image files from your device into Base64 strings — it does not accept typed or pasted plain text and encode it to Base64. If you need a Base64 string from a local PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF for CSS or HTML, load the image file and copy the encoded output on-device.
Does converting to Base64 upload my files to a server?
No. Pix-8 Base64 Encoder runs entirely in your browser. Your image file is read locally via the FileReader API, encoded on-device, and displayed as a copy-ready string. It is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.
What can I convert to Base64 with Pix-8?
Base64 Encoder converts local image files into Base64 strings with an optional data:image/…;base64, prefix. Character and byte size are shown before you copy. It does not encode plain text, batch-process folders, decode Base64 back to images, or convert video files.
