- Why convert JPEG images to Base64?
- Base64 encoding JPEG images enables direct embedding in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, reducing server requests and making your assets portable.
- How do I use Base64 encoded JPEGs in CSS?
- Use the Base64 output in your CSS like this: background-image: url(data:image/jpeg;base64,[your-base64-code]);
- What's the impact on image quality?
- Base64 encoding doesn't affect image quality - it just converts the binary data to text format. The JPEG quality remains exactly the same.
- Should I Base64 encode large JPEG images?
- For large images (>10KB), traditional image URLs might be more efficient. Base64 is best for small to medium-sized images.
- Can I optimize JPEG size before encoding?
- Yes, optimizing your JPEG image before Base64 encoding will result in smaller encoded output while maintaining quality.
