Question

I used ostermillerutils library to create base64 string but I get OutOfMemory error if the image is heavy. If the image I try to convert is a simple image, the code is working f

If you like to write the encoded content straight into a file then use the following code

public void encode(File file, OutputStream base64OutputStream) {
  InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
  OutputStream out = new Base64OutputStream(base64OutputStream)
  IOUtils.copy(is, out);
  is.close();
  out.close();
}

IOUtils class from Apache Commons IO.

EDIT Since you want to do it using BufferedWriter, use it as follows

 OutputStream out = Base64OutputStream(smtpSocket.getOutputStream()); 
 BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out));
 IOUtils.copy(is, bw);
