Should I inline this image?

Under about a kilobyte and used on every page, probably. Larger than that, almost certainly not — over HTTP/2 an extra request costs very little, while a large inlined asset is re-downloaded whenever the file containing it changes.

About this tool

Produces a data URI that embeds a file directly in HTML or CSS, removing one network request. Worth it for assets of a few hundred bytes; a losing trade above a few kilobytes, since the asset can no longer be cached separately or fetched in parallel.

Limitations

Data URIs cannot be cached separately from the document that contains them. Past a few kilobytes a normal file request usually wins.
