SVG to Base64

Converting SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to Base64 involves encoding the SVG data into a Base64 string representation. This process allows you to represent SVG images as a text-based format that can be easily transmitted or stored.

Here are the steps for SVG to Base64 conversion:

1. Read the SVG data: Obtain the raw SVG data that you want to convert to Base64. This SVG data can be in the form of a file or a string.

2. Encode the SVG data into Base64: Encode the SVG data into a Base64 string using an encoding algorithm. This algorithm converts the SVG data into its binary representation and then encodes it into Base64 format.

Here are some uses of SVG to Base64 conversion:

• Data Embedding: Base64-encoded SVG images can be embedded directly into HTML documents, CSS files, or JavaScript files.
• Data Transmission: Base64 encoding is often used for transmitting binary data over text-based protocols, such as HTTP or email. Converting SVG images to Base64 allows for efficient transmission of image data in environments where only text data is supported.
• Data Storage: Base64-encoded SVG images can be stored in databases or text-based storage systems where binary data is not supported. This allows for efficient storage and retrieval of image data in a format that is easily accessible and transportable.

Here are three example inputs and their corresponding outputs:

1. Input: SVG file named "logo.svg"

   • Output: Base64-encoded string representation of the SVG image

2. Input: SVG file named "icon.svg"

   • Output: Base64-encoded string representation of the SVG image

3. Input: SVG file named "illustration.svg"

   • Output: Base64-encoded string representation of the SVG image

Each output will be a long string of characters representing the SVG image in Base64 format. Since the output can be quite lengthy, it is typically used in contexts where binary data needs to be represented as text, such as embedding images in HTML or CSS.
