A webpack loader that transforms files into base64 data URIs, inlining small assets directly into JavaScript bundles. It falls back to file-loader for files exceeding a configurable byte limit, and is now deprecated in favor of webpack 5's built-in asset modules.
Use cases
- inline small images as base64 in webpack bundles
- reduce HTTP requests by embedding assets as data URIs
- conditionally inline assets below a size limit
- migrate legacy webpack 4 builds that use url-loader
- customize MIME type and encoding for inlined files
When to avoid
- starting a new webpack 5 project - use built-in asset modules instead
- you need active maintenance or new features - the project is deprecated
