how we can convert an image into a base64 string and base64 string back to image

In this post I am going show how we can convert Base64 string to Image and base64 string to image. it is very easy in C#.net. using this below code we can do that.

Sorry it will work good in Firefox

This we can convert into normal image, using this code.

Base64 string to Image

Code:

public Image Base64ToImage(string base64String)
{
// Convert Base64 String to byte[]

byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0,
imageBytes.Length);

// Convert byte[] to Image

ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);

Image image = Image.FromStream(ms, true);

return image;

}

Same way we can convert

image to Base64 string

Code:

public string ImageToBase64(Image image,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat format)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{

// Convert Image to byte[]

image.Save(ms, format);

byte[] imageBytes = ms.ToArray();

// Convert byte[] to Base64 String

string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);

return base64String;

}

}
