Get base64 from imagecontrol

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Pieter_NL 21

Hi

 

Is there a way to get the base64 from a regular imagecontrol?

 

I know I can get it from a PenInput with JSON(PenInput1.Image,IncludeBinaryData) but this doesn't seem to work in Image1.Image.

 

For the record: Image1.Image is a dynamic URL from Googles Chart API: 

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=250x250&chl=blabla

 

So that might be the problem, but I really want the QRCode that's generated by the url as base64.

 

I want to put the QR code in a PDF. And since I'm using power automate to convert html to pdf, I need Base64.

 

Any ideas?

    Yes, this is a problem when you use a URL for the Image source.  To use the JSON function on the image it will convert the referenced url to the base64.  If the image source is a local image or some other existing image, then it will convert to base64 (as technically it already is).  But for the url, if you JSON that...it will return the url.

     

    Can you not just put an image control in your HTML to show the image from the URL and then when you convert to PDF...it should be there.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
