How to Use Data URLs
HTML Example
Embed images directly in your HTML using the img tag:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="Red dot">CSS Example
Use Data URLs as background images in your CSS:
.element {
background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}JavaScript Example
Create images dynamically in JavaScript:
const img = new Image();
img.src = 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==';
document.body.appendChild(img);Best Practice
Data URLs are best suited for small images (under 5KB). For larger images, traditional file references with proper caching are usually more efficient.
