javascript convert base64 to image code example

Example 1: convert file into base64 in javascript

function getBase64(file) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    reader.onload = () => resolve(reader.result);
    reader.onerror = error => reject(error);
  });
}

var file = document.querySelector('#files > input[type="file"]').files[0];
getBase64(file).then(
  data => console.log(data)
);

Example 2: 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 3: 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)" />
