Image to Base64 FAQ

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data (like an image file) into a text string using 64 printable ASCII characters. This allows you to embed images directly into HTML or CSS without needing separate image files or HTTP requests.
Base64 is useful for small icons, logos, and images used in email templates, data URIs in CSS backgrounds, and single-page apps where reducing HTTP requests matters. Avoid using it for large images as it increases file sizes by about 33%.
A Data URI is a Base64 string with a MIME type prefix, like: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo... This full string can be used directly as an image src attribute in HTML or as a URL in CSS.
