No registration, watermark, queue, or server upload is required.
Use Base64 wisely
Base64 is ideal for text-only APIs, small embedded assets, test fixtures, and portable documents. It increases payload size, so external files are usually better for large public assets.
Frequently asked questions
What CSS output is generated?
A background-image declaration with a Data URL, ready to paste into a class rule in your stylesheet.
Should I inline large hero images as Base64?
Usually no. Large images bloat CSS and cannot be cached separately. Inline only small UI assets like icons.
When should I use Base64 for CSS background images?
Use it when a text-only channel or API must carry binary data, or when a small CSS background images asset needs to live inside a self-contained document. Prefer separate files for large, cacheable public assets.
