Sending the contents of a canvas to a Java server and saving it as an image

Question

Okay, basically I\'ve developed a simple image upload system. The user selects a local image (using the HTML5 File / FileReader API) and has the ability to crop it before confir

Answer 1

You need to remove the data:image/png;base64, part and base 64 decode the rest.

Answer 2

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;

public class test {
    public static void main (String[] args){
     try{
            // remove data:image/png;base64, and then take rest sting
            String img64 = "64 base image data here";
        byte[] decodedBytes = DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(img64 );
        BufferedImage bfi = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(decodedBytes));    
        File outputfile = new File("saved.png");
        ImageIO.write(bfi , "png", outputfile);
        bfi.flush();
     }catch(Exception e)
         {  
          //Implement exception code    
     }

    }
}

Answer 3

You have to replace space with + if your base64Image have space char, then you have to remove data:image/png;base64, from the beginning of the base64Image. Unless you replace space char, you can't get correct Image. then you can use Base64 decode

yourBase64String = yourBase64String.replace(' ', '+');

yourBase64String = yourBase64String.substring(22);

Answer 4

Once you Base64-decode the string, you will have the binary image, in the form of a PNG file. See this SO question for details on how to decode a base64 string into bytes.
