Base64 String

---

Base64 is a method for encoding binary data, such as images, as ASCII text. This allows the image data to be transmitted as text and displayed in places where binary data cannot be used, such as in HTML or CSS.

An image to Base64 converter is a tool that converts an image file into a Base64 encoded string. This means that instead of having to link to the image file on a server, the image can be embedded directly in the HTML or CSS code using the Base64 string.

To convert an image to Base64, the image file is first read as binary data and then encoded using the Base64 encoding scheme. The resulting Base64 string can then be used in place of the original image file.

It's worth noting that using Base64 encoding for images can increase the size of the HTML or CSS file, as the encoded image data is larger than the original binary data. However, it can be useful in situations where you need to embed images in a file format that doesn't support binary data, or where you want to avoid the extra overhead of additional HTTP requests to retrieve images from a server.
