SVG to Base64 conversion is the process of encoding Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files or code into Base64 format. SVG is an XML-based vector image format that can be embedded directly in web pages. Converting SVG to Base64 allows you to include vector graphics inline without external file dependencies.
This tool accepts SVG files or raw SVG code, converts it to Base64, and provides both the Base64 string and a complete Data URI that can be used directly in HTML img tags, CSS backgrounds, or anywhere you need to embed vector graphics as text.
Embed SVG icons and patterns directly in CSS without external files
Use Data URI in img src attributes for zero-latency loading
Embed SVG icons in JavaScript/TypeScript components
Include scalable vector graphics in HTML emails
Yes, all conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your SVG files never leave your device and are never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Base64 SVG is useful for CSS backgrounds and situations where you can't use inline SVG directly. Inline SVG code (without Base64) is generally smaller and offers better browser support. Choose based on your specific use case.
Yes, Base64 encoding increases the size by approximately 33%. However, for small SVG icons and graphics, the convenience of inline embedding often outweighs the size increase.
The Base64 output is read-only. To edit, you would need to decode it back to SVG, make your changes, and then re-encode. It's best to finalize your SVG before converting.
