Hiding files in strings

Hiding files in strings can be achieved by uploading the file to cloud and stegcloaking the link in the string
From your readme, would it be possible to base64 the binary into a string? Perhaps this is something that could be supported?
@mohanpierce99 I guess my main question: is there a technical limitation to the length of the string you hide?
@mohanpierce99 thanks for looking into it. it sounds infeasible considering the overhead (for the same reasons you don't embed base64 datalinks in html after a point).

The above-mentioned use-case of converting a base-64 to string is possible and still works, but drastically increases the file length (reference) which will directly lead to an increase in the number of invisible characters used and makes the payload and performance heavy leading to compromise in invisibility.
The library was intended for hiding strings and I believe it serves its purpose.
