FAQs
What is Base64 encoding?▼
Base64 is a way to encode binary data (like images) into ASCII text. This allows you to embed images directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON without needing separate image files.
When should I use Base64 images?▼
Base64 is great for small images, icons, or when you want to reduce HTTP requests. Avoid it for large images as Base64 increases file size by about 33%.
What's a Data URI?▼
A Data URI (data:image/png;base64,...) includes the MIME type and can be used directly in src attributes or CSS url() functions.
