Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Base64 Data URI?
A Data URI is a scheme that provides a way to include data in-line in web pages as if they were external resources. For images, it typically starts with `data:image/png;base64,` followed by the Base64-encoded image data.
Why is the `data:image/...` prefix necessary?
The prefix is crucial because it tells the browser what type of data it is (an image), what format it's in (like PNG or JPEG), and that the data itself is Base64 encoded. Without it, the browser doesn't know how to interpret the string.
