Create image from Base64

I'm trying to create an image in Sharepoint based on the Base64 encoded data which I have received in JSON format.

This Base64 comes in as:

data&colon;image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUh...

If I use DecodeBase64ToBinary on this, I get the error

The template language function 'base64ToBinary' was invoked with a parameter that is not valid. The value cannot be decoded from base64 representation.'.

However, if I remove

data&colon;image/png;base64,

from the start of the data, it works fine.

I thought this was needed as part of the Base64 data? It would be a pain if I have to remove it in order to decode it.

HI @DuncanIVH ,

Please use datauritobinary instead of base64tobinlary if the string has a head like 'data:....'

Best Regards,

Thanks @v-xiaochen-msft
I could have sworn I'd tried that already, but that fixed it!
