Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Base64 encoding?
A: Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that converts binary data (like images) into ASCII text. It's commonly used to embed images directly in HTML/CSS or transfer binary data over text-based protocols.
Q: Why does Base64 increase file size?
A: Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33% because it uses 4 ASCII characters to represent every 3 bytes of binary data. This overhead is the trade-off for text-based encoding.
Q: When should I use the data URL prefix?
A: Use the full data URL (with prefix) when embedding directly in HTML/CSS. Use raw Base64 when you need just the encoded data for APIs or when you'll add your own prefix.
