Javascript - get extension from base64 image

Question

I have a base64 encoded image returned from a service and it looks like this:

/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD/4Yp2aHR0cDovL25zLmFkb2JlLmNvbS94YXAvMS4wLwA8P3hwYWN         


        

Answer 1

This one Worked for me perfectly. It will return file type in format 'image/png'

    function base64MimeType(encoded) {
      var result = null;
    
      if (typeof encoded !== 'string') {
        return result;
      }
    
      var mime = encoded.match(/data:([a-zA-Z0-9]+\/[a-zA-Z0-9-.+]+).*,.*/);
    
      if (mime && mime.length) {
        result = mime[1];
      }
    
      return result;
    }
