How to download a base64-encoded image?

Question

I have a base64-encoded image from the server for which I want to force the download through JavaScript. Is is possible?

Answer 1

It is so simple just use function below:

// Parameters:
// contentType: The content type of your file. 
//              its like application/pdf or application/msword or image/jpeg or
//              image/png and so on
// base64Data: Its your actual base64 data
// fileName: Its the file name of the file which will be downloaded. 

function downloadBase64File(contentType, base64Data, fileName) {
     const linkSource = `data:${contentType};base64,${base64Data}`;
     const downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
     downloadLink.href = linkSource;
     downloadLink.download = fileName;
     downloadLink.click();
}
