What is Base64?

Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format. It's commonly used to embed image data directly in HTML, CSS, or JSON, eliminating the need for separate image files. While Base64 increases file size by approximately 33%, it can improve performance by reducing HTTP requests.
