Frequently asked questions
Is Base64 encoding a form of encryption?
No, Base64 is just an encoding scheme, not encryption. It doesn't provide any security and can be reversed by anyone.
Why is Base64 used for images sometimes?
It lets binary image data be represented as plain text, which is useful for embedding small images directly inside HTML, CSS, or JSON without a separate file.
