About Base64 Encoding
What is Base64? Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used to embed images directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON.
Use Cases:
- Embedding small images in HTML/CSS to reduce HTTP requests
- Storing images in databases or JSON APIs
- Email attachments and data transfer
- Creating self-contained HTML files
Important Notes:
- Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33%
- Best for small images (icons, logos) rather than large photos
- Cannot be cached separately by browsers like regular image files
- All processing happens locally - your images never leave your device
