Convert File to Data URL

Convert File to Data URL embeds a file’s MIME type and base64-encoded bytes in a single string.

Input and output

Direction	Field	Type	Description
Input	File	File	The file to encode.
Output	Data URL	String	A string in the form `data:MIME_TYPE;base64,DATA`.

Data URLs are useful when an API or HTML document expects embedded content instead of a separate file.

Base64 increases the size of the data. Prefer a normal file upload when the receiving service supports one.
