About Base64 Encoding

Base64 encoding converts images into text strings that can be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files.

✓ Advantages:

  • No additional HTTP requests
  • Faster page load for small images
  • Works in offline applications
  • Easy to embed in stylesheets

✗ Disadvantages:

  • ~33% larger file size
  • Not cached by browser
  • Increases HTML/CSS file size
  • Not ideal for large images

💡 Best practices: Use Base64 for small images (<10KB) like icons, logos, or background patterns. For larger images, use traditional image files with proper optimization.
