Frequently Asked Questions
What is an image Base64 Data URI?
A Base64 Data URI represents binary image data as an ASCII string. This allows images to be embedded directly inside HTML, CSS, or JSON without requiring separate HTTP requests to load external files.
Why does a Base64 string have a larger file size than the original image?
Base64 encoding represents binary bytes using a 64-character ASCII set (6 bits per character). This encoding scheme introduces approximately 33% overhead in size compared to the raw binary file.
Can this tool decode raw Base64 strings that lack the 'data:image' prefix?
Yes! Our intelligent decoder inspects magic byte signatures (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP) to automatically detect the correct MIME type and reconstruct the image, even if the 'data:image...' prefix is missing.
Can I convert Apple iPhone HEIC files to Base64?
Yes. Apple HEIC and HEIF captures are decoded directly in browser memory via WebAssembly and converted into universal Data URI strings.
Are my images or Base64 code uploaded to any server?
No. All encoding, decoding, string generation, and file exports run 100% locally inside your device browser memory (RAM) with total privacy.
