Is it possible to create encoded base64 URL from Image object?

You first need to save the image again in JPEG format; using the im.tostring() method would otherwise return raw image data that no browser would recognize:

from io import BytesIO  
output = BytesIO()
im.save(output, format='JPEG')
im_data = output.getvalue()

This you can then encode to base64:

image_data = base64.b64encode(im_data)
if not isinstance(image_data, str):
    # Python 3, decode from bytes to string
    image_data = image_data.decode()
data_url = 'data:image/jpg;base64,' + image_data

Here is one I made with this method:

I use PNG when I save to the buffer. With JPEG the numpy arrays are a bit different.

import base64
import io

import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

image_path = 'dog.jpg'

img2 = np.array(Image.open(image_path))

# Numpy -> b64
buffered = io.BytesIO()
Image.fromarray(img2).save(buffered, format="PNG")
b64image = base64.b64encode(buffered.getvalue())

# b64 -> Numpy
img = np.array(Image.open(io.BytesIO(base64.b64decode(b64image))))

print(img.shape)
np.testing.assert_almost_equal(img, img2)

Note that it will be slower.

In Python 3, you may need to use BytesIO:

from io import BytesIO

...

outputBuffer = BytesIO()
bg.save(outputBuffer, format='JPEG')
bgBase64Data = outputBuffer.getvalue()

# http://stackoverflow.com/q/16748083/2603230
return 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + base64.b64encode(bgBase64Data).decode()

 thumb = base64.b64encode(im.tostring())

I think would work
