Reviews

Very useful addon. It quickly generates a Base64 encoded version of that image you chose and inserts it in the content.

Helps to convert image to Base64 string. It does not send the file to the server to convert.

We needed a tool that converts the image files to Base64 and found this plugin.

We can verify that the plugin is working correctly.
