+    Make base64 image from a file
+    This is usually done in order to create a Base64 image for use as an Ucon or a Button image
+    To use, either copy and paste the full path to the file or use the browse button to locate the file.
+    Once chosen, the conversion will happen automatically with the result placed on the clipboard.
+    When complete, a popup window is shown that automatically closes after 1 second so you aren't bothered with having to close it
+
+    NOTE - if you're replacing your ICO file for your window with a base64 image, you will first need to convert your icon from
+    an ICO file into a PNG file.  Encode the PNG file and then you'll be able to pass that value in your call to Window:
+
+    window = sg.Window('Window Title', layout, icon=icon)
+
+    Where icon is a variable you created using the contents of the clipboard folowing running this program.
+
+    Input: a single image file
+    Output: clipboard will contain the Base64 Byte String of the source image
