Is the svg to base64 converter private?
Yes. Base64 is useful when an SVG must be embedded as a self-contained asset and URL encoding is not appropriate. All processing happens locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Built for SVG graphics
Base64 is useful when an SVG must be embedded as a self-contained asset and URL encoding is not appropriate.
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
Should I use Base64 or URL encoding for SVG?
URL encoding is often smaller for SVG text. Base64 is better when the SVG must be treated as opaque binary or embedded in JSON.
Can I use the output in CSS background-image?
Yes. Select the CSS output format to get a background-image rule with an embedded Data URL.
When should I use Base64 for SVG graphics?
Use it when a text-only channel or API must carry binary data, or when a small SVG graphics asset needs to live inside a self-contained document. Prefer separate files for large, cacheable public assets.
