FAQ
Q: Are files uploaded to the server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Q: What is the difference between Data URL and plain Base64?
Data URL includes a MIME type prefix (e.g. "data:image/png;base64,") and can be referenced directly in HTML/CSS. Plain Base64 contains only the encoded string.
Q: Why the 10MB limit?
Base64 encoding increases size by about 1/3. Overly large files cause browser memory pressure and clipboard lag, so the limit is set to 10MB.
