Frequently asked questions
When is embedding an image as Base64 useful?
It's useful for small icons or images where avoiding an extra HTTP request outweighs the roughly 33% larger file size that Base64 encoding adds.
Does Base64 encoding reduce image quality?
No, it's a lossless text representation of the same image data, so quality is unaffected.
