Frequently Asked Questions
Is Base64 encoding a form of encryption?
No. Base64 is strictly an encoding format that represents binary image bytes as ASCII text characters so they can be embedded in HTML, CSS, or JSON. Anyone can decode a Base64 string back into the original image without a key.
When should I use Base64 Data URLs in web development?
Base64 Data URLs are ideal for small icons, logos, or single-file HTML documents where eliminating extra HTTP requests outweighs the ~33% increase in text payload size.
