Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base64 encoding?

Base64 represents binary bytes with ASCII characters. Vizua reads one selected JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or SVG as a data URL and also prepares HTML img and CSS background snippets. It does not decode, optimize, sanitize, or validate the embedded content.

When should I use Base64 images?

Use a data URL only when the complete destination’s size, caching, security policy, parser, and maintenance trade-offs are acceptable. There is no universal 10 KB cutoff. Separate files can be cached and updated independently, while embedded data increases the containing document.

Does Base64 increase file size?

The Base64 payload length is 4 × ceil(source bytes ÷ 3), roughly 33% overhead for large inputs, plus the data-URL media-type prefix and padding. Vizua’s displayed Base64 size counts the complete data-URL string, so it is not exactly the bare payload or transfer size after compression.

Tips for better results

  • Start with the cleanest source available; a small, blurry, or heavily compressed file contains less detail to preserve.
  • Check dimensions and format before downloading so the result matches the site, app, printer, or platform where you will use it.
  • For large files, close unnecessary tabs and test one representative file before processing a full batch.
  • Open the downloaded result once before sharing it or replacing an original.
