What is Base64?

Base64 is a method of encoding binary data into ASCII text format. It is often used to embed images in HTML, CSS or XML files when you want to avoid separate HTTP requests.

Advantages of using Base64:

  • Reduction of HTTP requests
  • Ability to embed images directly into code
  • Simplified resource management

Disadvantages:

  • File size increase of 20-30%
  • No browser caching
  • Editing complexity
Tip: Use base64 for small icons and images that rarely change. For larger images, it is better to use regular links.
