Select or drag a local image file. File bytes are available directly without decoding the image.
Convert Images to Bytes and Byte Arrays
Turn a local image into original file bytes or decoded RGB / RGBA pixel bytes, then format the result as a byte array, Uint8Array, hex, or Buffer.

Image bytes will appear here
Select an image, then choose original file bytes or decoded RGB / RGBA pixels and format them as a byte array, Uint8Array, hex, or Buffer.

How it works
Convert an image file into reusable byte representations
Keep the original encoded bytes, or decode the image locally into RGB or RGBA pixel-channel bytes.
Switch between byte array, Uint8Array, hex and Buffer representations. Large outputs stay compact in the on-screen preview.
Need to reconstruct the image again? Use the paired Bytes to Image tool from the switch control above.
