FAQ
Why embed SVGs as data URIs?
Data URIs eliminate an HTTP request, reducing page load time. They're ideal for small decorative SVGs, icons, and patterns used in CSS backgrounds.
URL-encoded vs Base64 β which is better?
URL-encoded is typically 20-30% smaller. Base64 has wider compatibility with older tools. For modern browsers, URL-encoded is recommended.
Is there a size limit?
No hard limit, but data URIs over 128KB can slow down CSS parsing. Keep SVGs optimized and use this for small graphics (icons, patterns), not large illustrations.
