Frequently Asked Questions
Why URL-encode SVG rather than Base64?
URL-encoded UTF-8 SVGs (`data:image/svg+xml,...`) are typically 20-30% smaller than Base64-encoded equivalents and compress far better over gzip/Brotli HTTP compression.
Why must the `#` character be encoded as `%23` in SVG Data URIs?
In standard URI syntax, `#` introduces a URL fragment hash. Without replacing `#` with `%23`, browsers fail to parse hex colors like `#6366f1` inside data URIs.
