I had a very similar requirement  importing a base64 encoded image from an external xml import file   After using xml2json-light library to convert to a json object  I was able to leverage insight from cuixiping s answer above to convert the incoming b64 encoded image to a file object   const imgName   incomingImage  FileName    const imgExt   imgName split      pop    let mimeType    image png   if  imgExt toLowerCase        png         mimeType    image jpeg     const imgB64   incomingImage    ttribute    const bstr   atob imgB64   let n   bstr length  const u8arr   new Uint8Array n   while  n--      u8arr n    bstr charCodeAt n     const file   new File  u8arr   imgName   type  mimeType      My incoming json object had two properties after conversion by xml2json-light  FileName and   ttribute  which was b64 image data contained in the body of the incoming element   I needed to generate the mime-type based on the incoming FileName extension  Once I had all the pieces extracted referenced from the json object  it was a simple task  using cuixiping s supplied code reference  to generate the new File object which was completely compatible with my existing classes that expected a file object generated from the browser  element   Hope this helps connects the dots for others
