Copy the URI only after checking its size and destination context.</p><h2>How the result is produced</h2><p>The browser uses encodeURIComponent for percent encoding or UTF-8 Base64 conversion for the selected representation. The output is text and is not uploaded.</p><h2>Test examples</h2><p>A short `Hello` text value can become a text/plain data URI. A data URI for a large stylesheet or image is usually harder to cache, review, and maintain than a normal asset URL.</p><h2>Limitations</h2><p>Data URIs can increase document size, complicate caching, and create security or content-policy considerations. Do not embed secrets or untrusted executable content.</p><h2>Privacy and processing</h2><p>The text is encoded locally. The tool does not upload the content, but copying a data URI into another document may expose it there.</p><h2>Related guide</h2><p><a href="https://nofyi.com/when-to-use-data-uris/">When a data URI helps and when a normal asset URL is better</a></p><h2>Related tools in this category</h2><ul class="nfaf-related-tools"><li><a href="https://nofyi.com/tools/url-encoder-decoder/">URL Encoder and Decoder</a><span>Use this for query values and URL components, not for blindly re-encoding a complete URL.</span></li><li><a href="https://nofyi.com/tools/html-entity-encoder-decoder/">HTML Entity Encoder and Decoder</a><span>Convert text to safe visible entities or decode common entities back to characters.</span></li><li><a href="https://nofyi.com/tools/css-minifier-formatter/">CSS Minifier and Formatter</a><span>Paste CSS and choose a compact or readable output for inspection.</span></li></ul><h2>Documentation</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2397" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2397</a></li><li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URLs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URLs</a></li></ul><p class="nfaf-disclosure">This page describes the implementation shipped with the NOFYI Tool Factory.
