Question

As the title indicates, I want to know how to convert an image to a base64 string in Java. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Use the Base64 class.

If you're on pre-Java 8, have a look at one of the following resources:

• The example at exampledepot.com

• or Base64Coder - an open-source Base64 encoder/decoder in Java

• or the Base64 class in the org.apache.commons.codec.binary package
