Referencing Images in Custom Tiles

Base64 encoded large binary data (like images) should NOT be included directly in the Custom Tile source code. The Custom Tile source code is ultimately stored in a database which means it’s not well suited for binary data and you’ll quickly hit the per document (database entry) size limit.

I would recommend uploading the files somewhere and then reference those sources. If you have a NAS or some other file server on your network, you might be able to use that. Otherwise I would recommend using an online image hosting service. For example, I use Imgur for quickly hosting screenshots or background images.
