Convert base64 to Image in Python

Question

I have a mongoDB database and I recover base64 data which corresponds to my Image.

I don\'t know how to convert base64 data to an Image.

Answer 1

Your image file(jpeg/png) is encoded to base64 and encoded base64 string is stored in your mongo db. First decode the base64 string

import base64
image_binary=base64.decodestring(recovered_string_from_mongo_db)

Now image_binary contains your image binary, write this binary to file

with open('image.extension','wb') as f:
    f.write(image_binary)

Where extension is your image file extension.
