copy image to data uri using chrome base64 encode

Update: 26 Aug 2020 - Fixed video and original image link all should be working now in chrome.

Found this one useful if you want to convert an image to base64 encode and link it directly in css or html, rather than using a base64 encoder.

  1. find the image you want to convert
  2. lets use this emoji as an example. 
  3. open dev tools, f12 and inspect the image.
  4. right click the image and open in sources panel
  5. right click the image in sources panel and press copy image as datauri
  6. this will give you the image as a converted string, like this:
  7. then you can use it like this in an image tag:
  8. or you can even add it to css as a background image tag

as this one is a bit hard to follow, here is a video of how to do it.

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
