What is Base64 Encoding?
Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data (like images) in an ASCII string format. This allows you to embed images directly into HTML or CSS files without needing a separate image file.
Why Convert Image to Base64?
- Reduce HTTP Requests: By embedding the image code directly into your HTML, the browser doesn't need to make a separate request to the server to fetch the image. This can speed up page loading for small icons.
- Email Signatures: Many email clients block external images. Using Base64 ensures your logo or signature appears correctly.
- Database Storage: Store images as text strings in your database easily.
