How it works

  1. 1

    Add your SVG

    Upload an .svg file or paste the SVG code.

  2. 2

    Pick the encoding

    Base64 for the widest support, or URL-encoded for a readable string.

  3. 3

    Copy the Data URI

    Paste it into an <img> src or a CSS url().

When to use a Data URI

  • 01

    A Data URI puts the SVG inside the URL itself, which saves a network request.

  • 02

    Base64 is safe anywhere a string goes. URL-encoded stays readable, so you can see what it holds.

  • 03

    For large or widely reused artwork, a separate .svg file caches better.
