Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert an image to Base64?

Base64 encoding lets you embed an image directly inside HTML, CSS, or JSON as text instead of linking to a separate file — useful for small icons, email templates, or reducing HTTP requests.

Does Base64 encoding increase file size?

Yes, Base64 encoding increases the data size by roughly 33% compared to the original binary file.

Is it safe to convert sensitive images this way?

Base64 is an encoding format, not encryption — anyone with the encoded string can decode it back into the original image.
