Comments: 19 | Rating: 4.1/5

This online converter encodes the contents of remote file or webpage to Base64 (that is, it automatically downloads the remote data and convert it to Base64). To use it, just type or paste the URL and press “Encode URL to Base64” (make sure that the URL is publicly available). If you need more features, for better customization check the Base64 encoder. Please do not confuse this converter with the Base64URL Encode.

How to convert URL to Base64

  1. Type or paste paste the URL-address
  2. Press the “Encode URL to Base64” button.
  3. Download or copy the result from the “Base64” field.

    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.

  • Adam,
    Could you add a "Download Base64 Encoded file of URL" (or something similar) button that directly downloads a "<filename.ext>.b64" file without having to write it into the Base64 result UI textbox?

    [UPDATED: ]
    Sometimes for large files, the result box takes a long time to get populated, and is truncated.
