Why convert images to Base64?
Base64 encoding turns binary images into text, which is useful for embedding assets directly in HTML, CSS, JSON, and emails without managing separate files.[web:339][web:344][web:346]
Common use cases
- Embedding small icons and logos directly in CSS or HTML to reduce HTTP requests for critical UI assets.[web:339][web:343][web:348]
- Storing inline images in JSON config, documentation, or API payloads for portability.[web:344][web:345][web:346]
- Inlining images into emails where external resources might be blocked by clients or firewalls.[web:344][web:346][web:350]
