Image to Base64: questions
When should I use base64 images?
For small icons and logos embedded in CSS or HTML to avoid extra HTTP requests. Avoid for large images — base64 increases file size by ~33% and prevents caching.
Is the image uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using the FileReader API. Your image never leaves your machine.
