Data URI Creator

Data URIs provide a convenient means for developers to easily insert graphic content in-line into the HTML code of their web page. To be more specific, data URIs are nothing more than base64 encoded strings that refer to the content of a file, making it possible to embed images within the code as if they were here documents.

There are various data URI generators online, but in case you are working on a corporate project, you might not want your images to be uploaded on the Internet on some server. Data URI Creator offers an offline tool that does exactly the same thing without compromising your data privacy.

The one-window interface betrays the efforts of its developers to focus on clear functionality and simple options. There is a large panel that supports drag and drop actions so you can simply drag an image to the main window and it will be processed in no time. Alternatively, you can opt to use the classic "Browse" button to find the desired picture.

Data URI Creator displays a small preview of the image, alongside the data URI information, which you can send to the clipboard with the click of a button.

To make it easier for you to work with HTML, the application can be configured to generate the HTML code instead, meaning the "<img>" tag can be ready for you to use in an instant. Obviously, you can copy the piece of code to the clipboard as well.

While there is no "refresh" button to allow the result to be updated depending on your options, you have a "Clear" button that erases all the data and allows you to start over from selecting the image to analyze.

Data URIs embed small data objects that can point to a specific file, which allows you to embed graphic content in-line within the text of a web page. And such an application, which can generate both the data URI information and the HTML code, certainly comes in handy if you forgot to include the graphics before the release of a web development project.
