Frequently Asked Questions
What is base64 for images?
It encodes binary image data as plain text, handy for embeds, JSON payloads and inline resources.
Does base64 increase file size?
Yes — about 33%, because 6 bits fit into one text character. That is normal for the format.
Can I copy the result easily?
Yes — one click copies the full data URI, and you can download it as a text file too.
Is base64 good for emailing images?
Only inside HTML newsletters in small doses — inline images add ~33% overhead and bigger emails get flagged.
