If I POST a request in Web API with suppose 250 images of 660kb each in Base64 encoded format what will be the size which this request can handle as I read from this Link.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3853785/13381500
That it can manage up to 1GB if the conversion of image to Base64 is done what size will be then?
As I failed to find a particular answer yet for Base64 size.

base64 uses 6 bits of each byte. So it will increase the size of the data with 8/6, or 33%. So if a request can be a maximum of 1Gb, you can send ~750Mb of base64 encoded data.
Note that it is probably a bad idea to send such large requests. It is probably better to split it into multiple requests.
