> I'm returning directly the base 64 encoded string and it is very intensive
data.
There is also nothing Cordova can do about Base64 encoded images. Modern
phones can return a very large resolution for images, and these phones can also
be paired with low memory resources. Base64 will blow up the size of any binary
file by about ~30%. Additionally, it needs to copy that data from native to the
webview. This results in high memory usage spikes. Strings in the JS
environment are also pass-by-value, so they are furthered copied for every time
you pass that string around in your application.
Cordova makes note of this in the example:
```
/**
* Warning: Using DATA_URL is not recommended! The DATA_URL destination
* type is very memory intensive, even with a low quality setting. Using it
* can result in out of memory errors and application crashes. Use FILE_URI
* instead.
*/
```
Using `FILE_URI` destination is the most efficient ways to work with images.
