Base64 Encoding an Image for Firefox/IE Add-on

When creating an open search add-on for Firefox or Internet Explorer, the image needs to be Base64 encoded. This article provides methods to encode an image using Base64.

Using an Online Tool

  • Visit a website that provides Base64 encoding, such as [Base64 Encode/Decode](https://www.base64encode.org/).
  • Upload the favicon image or copy and paste its URL.
  • The encoded Base64 data will be displayed. Copy the output.

Using PHP

If you are familiar with PHP, you can perform Base64 encoding using the following steps:

<code class="php"><?php
    $im = file_get_contents('filename.gif');
    $imdata = base64_encode($im);      
?> </code>
Copy after login

Examples of Icon Element Usage

In OpenSearch plugins, the icon element is used to specify the image. Here is an example:

<img width="16" height="16" src="data:image/x-icon;base64,imageData">
Copy after login

Replace "imageData" with your Base64 encoded data.
