Create visual_base64.py

This commit introduces the initial creation of the visual_base64.py script. The script is designed to handle drag-and-drop events for image files and convert them to Base64 strings.

Key features of this script include:
- Importing necessary libraries for GUI and drag-and-drop functionality (TkinterDnD2).
- Defining functions to handle file selection and image conversion.
- Providing a user-friendly interface for drag-and-drop operations.
- Ensuring compatibility with various image file formats.

Future improvements may include:
- Adding more detailed error handling and user feedback.
- Enhancing the user interface for better usability.
- Incorporating additional image processing features as needed.

This script aims to streamline the process of converting image files to Base64 strings, making it easier to integrate with other applications or systems.
