Frequently Asked Questions

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data (like images) in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used to embed images directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code without requiring external image files.

You can use the Base64 string in several ways:
  • In HTML: <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,YOUR_BASE64_STRING">
  • In CSS: background-image: url('data:image/jpeg;base64,YOUR_BASE64_STRING');
  • In JavaScript when creating dynamic images

Yes, there are a few considerations:
  • Base64 encoded strings are about 33% larger than the original file
  • Maximum file size is limited to 50MB
  • Base64 images can't be cached by browsers like regular image files
  • Large Base64 strings can impact page load times

  3. The Base64 string will be generated automatically
