UIImage to base64 String Encoding

Question

How to convert UIimage to base64 encoded string? I couldn\'t find any examples or codes with detailed regarding.

Answer 1

There are changes in iOS 7 that allow this to be done without using any external categories to support Base64 encoding/decoding.

You could just write it directly using:

- (NSString *)base64String {
    return [UIImagePNGRepresentation(self) base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
}
