Convert between UIImage and Base64 string

Question

Does anyone know how to convert a UIImage to a Base64 string  and then reverse it   I have the below code  the original image before encoding is good  but I only get a blank image after I encode and decode it   NSData  imageData   UIImagePNGRepresentation viewImage    NSString  b64EncStr    self encode  imageData    NSString  base64String    self encodeBase64 imageData

Swift version - create base64 for image  In my opinion Implicitly Unwrapped Optional in case of UIImagePNGRepresenatation   is not safe  so I recommend to use extension like below   extension UIImage        func toBase64   - gt  String            let imageData   UIImagePNGRepresentation self          return imageData  base64EncodedStringWithOptions NSDataBase64EncodingOptions Encoding64CharacterLineLength

It s a very good to understand do you pass prefix as Tyler Sheaffer told  But for some reason you may need this prefix that describe the mime-type in the beginning of the base64 string  so I suggest this piece of code to pass some options before encoding  Swift 5    extension UIImage        enum Format  String           case png    png          case jpeg    jpeg             func toBase64 type  Format    jpeg  quality  CGFloat   1  addMimePrefix  Bool   false  - gt  String            let imageData  Data          switch type           case  jpeg  imageData   jpegData compressionQuality  quality          case  png   imageData   pngData                     guard let data   imageData else   return nil            let base64   data base64EncodedString options  Data Base64EncodingOptions lineLength64Characters           var result   base64         if addMimePrefix               let prefix    data image   type rawValue  base64               result   prefix   base64                   return result
