Base64 encoding schemes are commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with textual data. This is particularly useful for embedding images directly into HTML (as data URIs), CSS, or JSON.

This tool allows you to upload an image file (like PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP, SVG). It will then convert the binary data of the image into a Base64 encoded string, prefixed with the appropriate data URI scheme (e.g., data:image/png;base64,...).
