Encode ICO to Base64 on the fly!
Encode ICO to Base64 is a free web application that encodes ICO document's content to its equivalent string representation encoded with base-64 digits. Base64 is an encoding scheme to transform binary data into an ASCII text format. Base64 encoding is commonly used when it is necessary to encode binary information that needs to be stored and transferred over media designed to work with textual data.
You can use free online ICO to Base64 encoding on any operating system with a web browser. Our online application is secure, easy to use and completely free; you don't have to download any software for such tasks.
Why is encoding needed?
Historically, many data transfer and storage formats use text instead of binary code (HTML, URL-schemes, XML, email, and so on). What if the data transfer format is text-based, but you require to transfer the binary data? This is where Base64 encoding comes in. Preliminary processing of ICO format is required that the data remains intact without modification during transport or embed into other (HTML, XML, JSON, or CSS) documents. Encoding solves these problems.
