    It would be helpful if this handy tool would also show the before/after size of the image, in bytes, perhaps also with "% size increase"

      Hello! Thank you for your idea. Are you sure this is useful given that the output size is always 33% larger than input?

      Hello Rajesh,
      There is no magic. It just downloads the file from remote server and encodes it to Base64.
