What is Base64 Image Encoding?

Base64 encoding converts binary image data into ASCII text format. This allows images to be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON without requiring separate image files.

Benefits

  • Fewer HTTP requests: Images load with the page, reducing server requests
  • Portability: Everything in one file, easier to share
  • Email compatibility: Embed images in HTML emails
  • Data URIs: Use in CSS, JavaScript, and JSON

Considerations

  • Base64 encoding increases file size by ~33%
  • Best for small images (icons, logos, thumbnails)
  • Not cached separately by browsers
  • May impact page load time for large images
