What is Base64 Encoding?

Base64 is a method for encoding binary data into a text format using ASCII characters. It’s commonly used to embed images directly within HTML and CSS files, making your projects faster by reducing server requests.

When you convert an image to Base64, you get a long string that can be placed directly into code. This is especially helpful in environments where minimizing external file dependencies is crucial.
