When to use Base64 encoding?
Data Transmission
Use Base64 when sending binary files (like images, icons, or PDF documents) over text-only transport layers such as Email (MIME) or JSON API request payloads.
Embedding Inline Media
Embed small graphic assets directly inside HTML/CSS files as inline data URIs (`data:image/png;base64,...`) to save HTTP server requests and decrease page render times.
