FAQ
- What is the difference between a data URL and raw Base64?
- A data URL includes a MIME type prefix such as data:image/png;base64,...; raw Base64 contains only the encoded content.
- What image size is recommended?
- Keep source images under a few hundred KB; very long data URLs can slow page loading.
- Can I decode from CSS url()?
- Paste the data URL portion; the tool removes the prefix if present.
