How do you convert an image from a path on the user's computer to a base64 string in C#?
For example, I have the path to the image (in the format C:/image/1.gif) and would like to have a data URI like data:image/gif;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgEAYABgAAD.. representing the 1.gif image returned.
Try this
using (Image image = Image.FromFile(Path))
{
using (MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream())
{
image.Save(m, image.RawFormat);
byte[] imageBytes = m.ToArray();
// Convert byte[] to Base64 String
string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);
return base64String;
}
}
