NANY 2018 Release: BaseImage
BGM:
Thanks for trying it out! For webpages, bear in mind that the encoded image is *very* long. It increases the page size but you don't have to load an external file. The best use of this, I think, is for using html email signatures.

Yep. I am fully aware of base64 encoding (email attachments, etc.) but never realised that they could be used in a webpage like that. =] Quite slick.
Tuxman:
The main advantage is probably one less request, resulting in resource optimization. :)
Deozaan:
For an example of this out in the wild: The Lastpass extension uses a Base64-encoded image to inject their little asterisk symbol (or whatever their logo is these days) into form fields for their autofill stuff. :Thmbsup:
BGM:
Another place it is used - is by the Firefox Custom Buttons extension for the button icons - when you select an image for the icon, it base64 encodes it so it doesn't have to refer to a file location.
