I think you usually say "I'm self-taught".

"Self-taught" would be used for a specific skill. It is a common word. It is probably the word you want.
"Self-educated" would be used for an entire program of education. For example, someone who had never gone to school at all, but had learned all the elements of a full education through self study. It is a rarer word, because self-educated people are rare.
A self-educated person is an "autodidact."
For example, I am not self-educated, because I've been to (many years of) school, but am self-taught in singing, because I haven't had formal singing lessons.
The famous US President Abraham Lincoln "was a self-educated lawyer with less than a year of formal schooling."
Victor Buso, who discovered a supernova, was "a self-taught astronomer," because although he had been taught other things, he had learned about astronomy entirely by himself.

I think that "education" relates to all education post-secondary and ends with a diploma.
In that sense, I can't imagine what "self-education" might be.
Self-taught usually relates to skills: mechanics, languages, nutrition...
If you're looking for a word that says that a person has learned alone, I would say "self-taught"

Different variants with the same meaning, you can say:
- I'm self-taught
- I'm self-educated (correct but a little formal and infrequent)
- I learned by myself
- I learned on my own
- I taught myself
- I'm an autodidact (say this if you wanna show off)
