Fun Fact
Base64 encoding increases file size by roughly 33%, which means a GIF stored as Base64 text is significantly larger than the original binary file. Decoding it back to GIF restores it to its true, efficient size.
Historical Context
Base64 encoding was originally introduced as part of email standards to allow binary files to be transmitted over systems that only supported plain text. Over time, it became widely used in web development for embedding images, including GIF animations, directly into HTML, CSS, and JSON data.
