Convert SVG to Base64
Keep the SVG source intact and encode its original bytes as a clean Base64 string.
Encode SVG source without rasterizing
The preset disables metadata removal, resizing, and conversion so the SVG XML bytes are encoded directly.
Base64 can simplify transport through binary-safe fields, but it is larger than the original source and may be less readable than URL-encoded SVG.

Add a local SVG file.
- 2
Keep original format
Do not enable metadata removal or raster conversion if the vector source must remain intact.
