📄PDF to Base64 Converter
This PDF to Base64 Converter allows you to encode standard PDF documents into a Base64 string. This format is frequently required when sending files through JSON APIs, storing documents in NoSQL databases, or embedding PDFs directly into HTML or XML files without external links. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, ensuring your private documents are never uploaded to a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and a Data URI generator?
While similar, this tool is optimized specifically for PDFs. It strips the 'data:application/pdf;base64,' prefix from the output by default, providing just the raw Base64 string which is commonly required for API payloads.
Is there a file size limit?
Since the processing is done in your browser memory, very large PDFs (e.g., over 50MB) might cause the browser to freeze. For standard documents, it is instant.
