Image to base64 Converter with Tutorial

Base64 is an encoding algorithm that converts any characters, binary data, and even images or sound files into a readable string, which can be saved or transported over the network without data loss. Base64 is used to encode binary files such as images within scripts, to avoid depending on external files. Images encoded with Base64 can be embedded in HTML by using the <img>  or <link> tag. This can help to increase the page load time for smaller images by saving the browser from making additional HTTP requests.
