Convert Image from Url to Base64

Convert image from url to Base64

HTML

<img id="imageid" src="https://www.google.de/images/srpr/logo11w.png">

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"));

This method requires the canvas element, which is perfectly supported.

• The MDN reference of HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL().
• And the official W3C documentation.

Converting an Image url to base64 in Angular

You can use this to get base64 image

async function getBase64ImageFromUrl(imageUrl) {
  var res = await fetch(imageUrl);
  var blob = await res.blob();

  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    var reader  = new FileReader();
    reader.addEventListener("load", function () {
        resolve(reader.result);
    }, false);

    reader.onerror = () => {
      return reject(this);
    };
    reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
  })
}

Then call it like this

getBase64ImageFromUrl('your url')
    .then(result => testImage.src = result)
    .catch(err => console.error(err));

Way to convert image straight from URL to base64 without saving as a file in Python

Using the requests library:

import base64
import requests


def get_as_base64(url):

    return base64.b64encode(requests.get(url).content)

PHP: How to convert an image from URL to Base64?

Do you want to create a data url? You need a MIME-Type and some other additional information then (see Wikipedia). If this is not the case, this would be a simple base64 representation of the image:

$b64image = base64_encode(file_get_contents('path/to/image.png'));

Relevant docs: base64_encode()-function, file_get_contents()-function.

Fetch image from URL and convert it to base64 string - Flutter

Finally I found the solution using http package

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

Future<String> networkImageToBase64(String imageUrl) async {
    http.Response response = await http.get(imageUrl);
    final bytes = response?.bodyBytes;
    return (bytes != null ? base64Encode(bytes) : null);
}

Example:

final imgBase64Str = await networkImageToBase64('IMAGE_URL');
print(imgBase64Str);

This is working perfectly for both mobile and web.

Javascript Convert an URL to a BASE64 Image

Image instance fires onload event when the image is fully loaded. With this, another issue comes in which is dealing asynchronous functions. To be able to use what getBase64Image uses, a callback function must be used. Without a callback function, the function returns undefined

let base64image = this.getBase64Image(imgUrl);
console.log(base64image); // undefined

Adjusted function

public getBase64Image(imgUrl, callback) {

    var img = new Image();

    // onload fires when the image is fully loadded, and has width and height

    img.onload = function(){

      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"),
          dataURL = dataURL.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, "");

      callback(dataURL); // the base64 string

    };

    // set attributes and src 
    img.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous'); //
    img.src = imgUrl;

}

Usage:

this.getBase64Image(imgUrl, function(base64image){
     console.log(base64image);
});
