I am wanting to take a currently base64 encoded image and use a short hash say "84dskh" to "encrypt" the image into another perfectly valid base64 encoded image.
The original image does not have to be base64 encoded, ultimately I want a encrypted image of the original, but have it still be a valid image I could display in a img tag: <img src="myimage" />.
Preferably using javascript.
To encrypt the image, you would save it as a string (there may be limits there), and then when loading the image into the HTML document, use a decrypt method. Here is a related question. You may also find this library helpful (suggested within an answer).

I am currently working on a web extension that goes through all the images in the current webpage and blurs them. I have created a backend API that accepts a base64 encoded string of an image and returns the encoded string for the blurred image. My current issue is that I can't find a way to access all the images on the current webpage and get their base64 encoded string through javascript. How can I do this?
The intended architecture of the extension is as follows: the javascript file reads all the images on the webpage and encodes them into a base64 string, which is passed to the backend API. The API then blurs the image and returns a base64 encoded string of the blurred image. The javascript then decodes the string and replaces the original image with the blurred image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried going through all the image tags in the html of the webpage and fetching their urls, however this does not allow me to get the base64 encoding of the image(s). I would like to write a function that takes in the url to an image and returns the base64 encoding.
I'm writing a web page in HTML/JavaScript. I'm downloading an image from my backend using AJAX. The image is represented as raw byte array, not an URL, so I can't use the standard <img src="{url}"> approach.
How do I display the mentioned image to the user?
Try putting this HTML snippet into your served document:
<img id="ItemPreview" src="">
Then, on JavaScript side, you can dynamically modify image's src attribute with so-called Data URL.
document.getElementById("ItemPreview").src = "data:image/png;base64," + yourByteArrayAsBase64;
Alternatively, using jQuery:
$('#ItemPreview').attr('src', `data:image/png;base64,${yourByteArrayAsBase64}`);
This assumes that your image is stored in PNG format, which is quite popular. If you use some other image format (e.g. JPEG), modify the MIME type ("image/..." part) in the URL accordingly.

I am scraping image src, title, price etc from website but it gives base64 string in place of image src. When i'm appending all these scraped data to uri, it shows error long uri. How to slow this problem?
If you're getting a base64 string as the img src, it sounds as though the image is encoded inline.
data: URIs are a very useful way to embed small items of data into a
URL—rather than link to an external resource, the URL contains the
actual encoded data.
An HTML fragment embedding a picture of small red dot:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="Red dot" />
In the example above, if you were to base64 decode the string (minus the data:image/png,base64, part), you would get the data of a PNG image which you could write to disk as a file.

I'm converting the page to canvas and then canvas to the image. Function convertCanvasToImage returns image link as base64 encoded link. Looking for a solution to decode it cause I'll need that later and would be easier.
Encoded image starts with data:image/png;base64,longString.
I tried
var decodedData = window.atob(n); and http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html
But it returns chinese characters.
Also, I tried sending the encoded string to the server via ajax and then try with base64_decode. Still, I get odd output.
Any reference or solution how to decode base64 png image and get normal URL of the image? Is it possible for a canvas to return normal URL not encoded?
Is EXIF metadata removed/deleted when an image is converted to DataURL form so it can be stored in a browsers local storage? Specifically Chrome if it makes a difference.
When you convert any image to a data URL, you're just base64 encoding the binary stream of the image file. So, in short, no.
Edit: If you are specifically drawing an image to an HTML5 Canvas and then converting its data to a data URL with its toDataUrl method, of course EXIF data of the original image would be removed, because a Canvas instance doesn't use anything but the pixel data it contains and its pixel dimensions to generate that data url (if it uses anything else its isn't obvious to me). Any data URL generated wouldn't even necessarily look like one generated from the original file as as the files could be compressed differently, even when generating lossless PNGs.
It depends how you are doing the conversion. As long as you are just base64 encoding the entire image file, then all of the metadata will be preserved. However, if you use the canvas method (https://gist.github.com/1875132) of converting an image element then I believe you will only be storing the raw image data.
