Size Impact
Base64 encoding increases file size by ~33%
Converting CSV files to Base64 encodes the tabular data as ASCII text characters. This allows Comma Separated Values files to be embedded directly in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, XML, or other text-based formats without requiring separate file requests.
The conversion process reads the CSV file as text data, then encodes it using Base64, which represents the data using only 64 ASCII characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /). This increases the file size by approximately 33% but makes the data universally compatible with text-based systems.

CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a plain text file format where data values are separated by delimiters (usually commas). It's widely used for exchanging tabular data between spreadsheet applications and databases.
The tool automatically detects and supports comma (,), semicolon (;), and tab (\t) delimiters. It will identify the most likely delimiter based on the data structure.
Base64 encoding increases file size by approximately 33% due to the conversion from 8-bit bytes to 6-bit characters. For example, a 1MB CSV becomes about 1.3MB when encoded.
For small CSV files (< 1MB), Base64 reduces HTTP requests. For larger files, separate files are usually more efficient due to caching capabilities.
