image to base64 js code example

Example 1: convert an image into Base64 string using JavaScript

function getBase64Image(src, callback, outputFormat) {
      const img = new Image();
      img.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
      img.onload = () => {
        const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
        const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
        let dataURL;
        canvas.height = img.naturalHeight;
        canvas.width = img.naturalWidth;
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(outputFormat);
        callback(dataURL);
      };

      img.src = src;
      if (img.complete || img.complete === undefined) {
        img.src = "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==";
        img.src = src;
      }
    }

Example 2: javascript convert image to base64

function encodeImageFileAsURL(element) {
  var file = element.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  reader.onloadend = function() {
    console.log('RESULT', reader.result)
  }
  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
<input type="file" onchange="encodeImageFileAsURL(this)" />

Example 3: png to base64 javascript

function toDataURL(url, callback) {
  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.onload = function() {
    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onloadend = function() {
      callback(reader.result);
    }
    reader.readAsDataURL(xhr.response);
  };
  xhr.open('GET', url);
  xhr.responseType = 'blob';
  xhr.send();
}

toDataURL('https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/571092147801948204/784586541146177606/6f32c864-985a-481d-8d8e-bd1f14ab9951.png', function(dataUrl) {
  console.log('RESULT:', dataUrl)
})

Example 4: convert image url to base64 javascript

function getBase64Image(img) {
  var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
  canvas.width = img.width;
  canvas.height = img.height;
  var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
  ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
  var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
  return dataURL.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");
}

var base64 = getBase64Image(document.getElementById("imageid"));
