You can but it’s not part of a plaintext standard. You could certainly build a text editor which can decode a base64 string, but to transform that into a picture you need something implementing the GIF (or JPEG or PNG) specification, otherwise it’s just a binary blob.

Of course you can. You can convert any image to base64.
