Does anyone know how to convert a UIImage to a Base64 string, and then reverse it?

For the Base64 code like:

"data:image/jpg;base64,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"

Use Swift5.0 code like:

func imageFromBase64(_ base64: String) -> UIImage? {
    if let url = URL(string: base64) {
        if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) {
            return UIImage(data: data)
        }
    }
    return nil
}
