What Is Base64 and Why Do You Need It?

APIs and data payloads

REST APIs and JSON payloads cannot carry raw binary. Base64 is the standard way to embed files, images, or certificates in JSON.

HTML and CSS embedding

Embed fonts, icons, and images directly in HTML and CSS using data URIs to reduce HTTP requests and enable offline rendering.

Email attachments

MIME email attachments use Base64 to encode binary files into ASCII for safe transit through email relay servers.
