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.
