Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Base64 Data URL?
A Base64 Data URL embeds image binary data directly into text strings, allowing images to be placed inline in HTML or CSS without separate HTTP image requests.
Why is a Base64 string larger than the original image file?
Base64 encoding uses 4 ASCII characters to represent every 3 bytes of binary data, which adds approximately 33% overhead to the overall size.
