Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Base64 for images?
Base64 allows you to embed images directly into code files, reducing HTTP requests and ensuring assets load with your HTML/CSS.
Is there a file size limit?
While our tool handles large images, Base64 strings are ~33% larger than original files, so it's best for small icons and assets.
Examples
"Perfect for embedding small icons in newsletters, emails, or single-file web pages."
"Commonly used by developers to store small image assets directly in database fields or configuration files."
