Python: Convert image to base64 string

Using 'base64.b64encode' method, we can convert the image to base64 encoded string.

 

Step 1: Open the image file in binary format.

with open(image_path, "rb") as img_file

Step 2: Get base64 string from the image content using ‘base64.b64encode’ method.

base64.b64encode(img_file.read())

convert_image_to_base64.py

import base64

def get_base64(image_path):
    with open(image_path, "rb") as img_file:
        return base64.b64encode(img_file.read())

image_path = '/Users/krishna/Desktop/1.png'
binary_string = get_base64(image_path)

print('binary_string -> ', binary_string)
