Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, WebP, ICO, and BMP. Any image your browser can display will work.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using the FileReader API. Your image never leaves your device.
What is a data URI?
A data URI embeds the image directly in HTML or CSS as a Base64 string, eliminating the need for a separate file request.
