Data URI Generator

Generate data URIs from SVG, text, HTML, CSS, JSON, and small snippets. Choose MIME type, encoding style, charset, output format, and preview supported data URLs directly in your browser.

Paste a small SVG, text snippet, HTML sample, CSS snippet, or JSON value that you want to turn into a data URL.

Data URI Settings

Options

Percent encoding is often readable for SVG and text. Base64 can be useful when content contains many special characters or when you prefer a compact encoded block.

Output

Copy the generated data URI, HTML snippet, CSS url(), or JSON details.

Creating Data URLs for Small Snippets

A data URI lets you place small content directly inside a URL. It can hold plain text, SVG, HTML, CSS, JSON, and other text-based content types. This is useful when you need a small self-contained asset or a quick test value.

This Data URI Generator creates clean data URLs from source content. You can choose the MIME type, charset, percent encoding, Base64 output, and copy the result as a raw data URI, HTML snippet, CSS url(), or JSON object.

The tool is especially helpful for small SVG icons, short text examples, inline CSS tests, documentation snippets, and browser behavior checks.

How to Generate a Data URI

  1. Choose the content type, such as SVG, plain text, HTML, CSS, or JSON.
  2. Paste the source content into the input box.
  3. Review the MIME type and charset settings.
  4. Select percent encoding or Base64 encoding.
  5. Generate the data URI, preview supported output, and copy the result.

When This Data URI Generator Helps

Embedding a small SVG icon directly in CSS or HTML.

Creating a quick data URL for testing browser behavior.

Preparing small text, HTML, CSS, or JSON examples for documentation.

Comparing percent-encoded output with Base64 output before using it.

Building small self-contained examples for bug reports or experiments.

Example Data URI

Plain text input:

Hello from Yoryantra

Generated data URI:

data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,Hello%20from%20Yoryantra

Data URIs Are Best for Small Content

Data URIs are convenient, but they can make HTML and CSS heavier when the content is large. A small SVG or short text snippet is usually fine. A large image, long document, or big JSON file is usually better kept as a separate file.

Use data URIs for small assets, examples, experiments, and quick testing. For production pages, check performance, caching, and readability before inlining too much content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a data URI?

A data URI is a URL that contains the content itself, such as text, SVG, HTML, CSS, JSON, or Base64 data.

Is a data URI the same as a data URL?

In everyday developer usage, both terms usually refer to the same idea: a URL that starts with data: and contains the encoded content inline.

Should I use percent encoding or Base64?

Percent encoding is often readable for text and SVG. Base64 is useful when the content has many special characters or when you prefer a single encoded block.

Can this create SVG data URIs?

Yes. Choose SVG as the content type, paste the SVG, and generate a percent-encoded or Base64 data URI.

Are data URIs good for large files?

Usually no. Data URIs are better for small snippets and small assets. Large files should normally stay as separate files.

Is my content uploaded anywhere?

No. The data URI is generated directly in your browser, so pasted content is not uploaded to a server.
