FAQ
Which format should I use — URL-encoded or base64?
URL-encoded is usually smaller and more readable. Base64 is better if you need to avoid special characters in certain environments.
Is the SVG optimized before encoding?
Yes — unnecessary whitespace and newlines are stripped before encoding to minimize the output size.
Does this tool upload my SVG anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your SVG never leaves your device.
Why use data URIs instead of external SVG files?
Data URIs eliminate an extra HTTP request, which can improve performance for small icons and patterns. They also work in CSS where img tags aren't available.
