Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Data URI and Raw Base64?
A Data URI includes a metadata header (e.g., `data:image/png;base64,`) that allows web browsers to render the content directly, such as in `<img src='...'>`. Raw Base64 is only the encoded payload without headers.
Is there a file size limit?
We recommend keeping files under 20MB. Very large files generate huge Base64 strings which can consume significant browser memory and cause lag.
