Base64 is an encoding method rather than a compression process, so the underlying image data remains the same when properly encoded. However, the Base64 representation is larger than the original binary image file. If you need to reduce file size, you should optimize or compress the image separately before converting it. Keeping the original file is also recommended for future use.</span></span>
