Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 encodes binary data (like images) as ASCII text. This allows images to be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

When should I use Data URI?

Use Data URI when embedding images in HTML/CSS (e.g., background-image). Use raw Base64 when working with APIs or databases.

Does Base64 increase file size?

Yes, Base64 encoding increases size by ~33%. Best for small images like icons. For large images, use regular file hosting.
