+# Disable Image to Base64 Conversion
+
+Some users[^1] may wish to host their imagery and media via a 3rd party source or simply want to avoid the heavy weight added with using base64 strings (~133%+ in size).
+
+To disable this feature, open your `_phpetite/_config.php` file and change the `images_to_base64` variable to false.
+
+```.php
+// Activate or disable images to base64 strings
+$images_to_base64 = false;
+```
