About Base64
Base64 is an encoding algorithm that converts any characters, binary data, and even images or audio files into a readable string. You can then embed your base64 string directly into your HTML images or use it in your CSS files.
The Base64 is a string representation of your actual image, hence the web browser doesn't need to fetch the image as it is already there.
You can use the Base64 string directly in src attribute of your <img /> HTML element. Or, directly in the background-image CSS property, example :
background-image: url(YOUR BASE64 STRING);
