XML Image Generator

The XML Image Generator produces a well-formed XML document holding an image’s metadata and its Base64 payload wrapped in CDATA. It is for developers embedding image data in XML-based formats.

Wrapping Base64 in valid XML by hand risks malformed markup. Generating it locally produces a well-formed document with the payload safely enclosed.

1. Drop an image into the tool — XML Image.
2. The XML document is built with metadata and the Base64 payload in CDATA.
3. Review the well-formed XML.
4. Copy or download it — XML Image.

• Well-formed XML output
• Metadata elements
• Base64 payload wrapped in CDATA
• Generated in the browser — XML Image

• Embedding an image in an XML-based document format
• Storing image data with metadata in XML
• Producing an XML fixture that includes an image
• Bundling an image into a SOAP or config payload

• Inline only small images to keep XML documents manageable.
• Leave the CDATA wrapper intact so the payload does not break parsing.
• Validate the document if your consumer enforces a schema.

• Embedding large images, which makes XML documents heavy.
• Hand-editing the Base64 and breaking the CDATA section.
• Using inlined XML image data where a referenced file would be lighter.
