## Description

The Copy Image as Base64 Chrome extension provides a convenient way to copy any image on the web directly to your clipboard in Base64 format as a data URI. By adding an option to the right-click context menu for images, it supports major image formats such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, and SVG (svg+xml). This is especially useful for developers, designers, or anyone who needs quick access to image data for web projects or documentation.

While it works on most websites, some restrict access due to strict CORS and security policies, which may prevent using the extension on those sites. Nonetheless, this is a rare case, and the extension is highly reliable across typical browsing scenarios. It simplifies workflow by eliminating the need for manual image encoding tools or downloads.
