SVG to QByteArray

[meazza]

I am not sure why you would want to Base64 encode an SVG file: it is already text after all.

Well I have an application where you can load different types of images (svg, pbg and jpg) and I am saving PNG and JPG base64 encoded to an xml document so thought might aswell do that to the SVG images aswell.

Am I losing something when I do this or?

If you are doing this to store an arbitrary binary blob inside another text format then this is a reasonable way to do it. You should not be losing anything except a little bit of disk space for the large Base64 version.
