Converting Image to BASE64 String in swift

Question

I am trying to convert the Image which is picked by user either from his Photos or Take New from Camera. I am able to convert the image into base64 string but the problem is that it takes too much time and prints a long infinite string

Here is the output of String which i am getting

here is my code:

// Image picker from Gallery
    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage, editingInfo: [String : AnyObject]?) {
        imagePicker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
        profileImage.image = image

    }

    // Image Picker from Camera

    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
        imagePicker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
        profileImage.image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage

        addPicBtn.setImage(nil, forState: .Normal)

        let imageData:NSData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(profileImage.image!)!
        let imageStr = imageData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
        print(imageStr)


    }

Actually it will not take time to convert but for printing, it will take more time so don't print it...
