About Base64 Encoding

  • Base64 encoding converts image binary data to ASCII text
  • Use in HTML: <img src="data:image/png;base64,...">
  • Use in CSS: background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,...);
  • Useful for embedding images in HTML/CSS/JSON without separate files
  • Base64 encoded images are ~33% larger than original file
  • Copy "Base64" for just the encoded string, "Data URL" for the complete data URI
