When should developers use image to base64 conversion for a website?

Post by Peter »

Developers can use image to base64 conversion when they need to embed small images directly into HTML, CSS, JSON, or another text-based resource. It can be practical for small icons, interface elements, or images that need to remain within a single file. Before using Base64, consider the size of the image because the encoded representation is larger than the original binary data. For large images, optimized image files are usually a more efficient choice.
