What is Base64?
Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data using a set of 64 printable ASCII characters. It is commonly used when binary data needs to be transferred or stored in text-based systems such as HTML, CSS, JSON or XML.
When to use it?
1. Embed small images directly in HTML or CSS to reduce HTTP requests.
2. Send images through APIs that only accept text (e.g. JSON payloads).
3. Store image data in databases or configuration files.
4. Avoid CORS issues by inlining assets as data URIs.
