If you want your base64 String to follow the standard format, add this after getting your base64 method from any of the provided answers

String base64 =""; //Your encoded string
base64 = "data:image/"+getMimeType(context,profileUri)+";base64,"+base64;

The method to get imageExtension is

   public static String getMimeType(Context context, Uri uri) {
        String extension;
        if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
            //If scheme is a content
            final MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
            extension = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(context.getContentResolver().getType(uri));
        } else {
            //If scheme is a File
            //This will replace white spaces with %20 and also other special characters. This will avoid returning null values on file name with spaces and special characters.
            extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(new File(uri.getPath())).toString());
        }
        return extension;
    }
