Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Base64 image encoding?
  Base64 converts binary image data to a text string that can be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files, eliminating the need for a separate image file request.
• When should I use Base64 images?
  Base64 is ideal for: small icons and logos to reduce HTTP requests, email HTML templates where external images are blocked, CSS background images for critical UI elements, and offline/PWA applications.
• Does Base64 increase file size?
  Yes. Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33%. For small images, the HTTP request saved is worth it. For large images, it's better to use regular files.
• What output formats does it provide?
  img src data URI (HTML), background-image data URI (CSS), and raw Base64 string.
• Is there a size limit?
  No. All processing is local. However, very large Base64 strings may impact page performance.
• Can I decode Base64 back to an image?
  Yes. imgavio also supports decoding Base64 strings back to downloadable image files.
• What image formats are supported?
  JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and SVG.
