Image to Base64 Converter

An image file is essentially a collection of binary data, where each byte represents a pixel's color or other image information.

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format using a set of 64 characters.

To convert an image to Base64, the binary image data is divided into groups of three bytes. Each group is then converted into four Base64 characters.

This encoding process makes the data more resistant to corruption during transmission since Base64-encoded data consists only of ASCII characters, which are less likely to be altered.

The result of encoding is a text string that contains the ASCII characters representing the Base64-encoded image data.

This string can be easily embedded in various contexts, such as HTML, CSS, JSON, or XML, where only text data is supported.
