Image Base64, data URL, and HTML/CSS embedding

A local-first topic for converting images into Base64 or data URLs and deciding when HTML img or CSS background-image embedding is appropriate.

Direct answer

Image Base64 is useful for small icons, decorative assets, email templates, and temporary embeds, but it is usually the wrong default for large images. Review file size, format, transparency, and privacy risk first, then decide whether to keep a standalone asset, compress it, or generate a data URL locally.
