What is a SVG Code to Base64 Data URI Converter?
An SVG to Base64 converter encodes SVG markup as a data URI (data:image/svg+xml;base64,…) so you can embed an icon directly in CSS, HTML or JSON without a separate file request. This tool takes your SVG code, encodes it with UTF-8 safe Base64, and gives you both the data URI and a CSS background-image rule.
Execution Privacy:Toolbrix processes this utility using🔒 Processed locally — Base64 string encoding.

Open your .svg file in a text editor and copy all of its code, starting with <svg.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Should I use Base64 or URL-encoding for SVG?
URL-encoded SVG is usually about 30% smaller than Base64. Base64 is safer when the data URI goes into places that mangle quotes or special characters, such as some JSON or email templates.
Q:Does Base64 make my SVG load faster?
It removes one HTTP request, which helps for small icons. For large SVGs a separate cached file is usually better.
Q:Does this work with SVGs that contain non-English text?
Yes. The input is UTF-8 encoded before Base64 encoding, so accented and non-Latin characters are preserved.
