let decodedData = NSData(base64EncodedString: base64String, options: NSDataBase64DecodingOptions.fromRaw(0)!) var decodedimage = UIImage(data: decodedData) println(decodedimage) yourImageView.image = decodedimage as UIImage |
iOS7 > Objectice-C version
You can use NSData’s base64EncodedStringWithOptions
Now encode as:
1 2 3 |
- (NSString *)encodeToBase64String:(UIImage *)image { return [UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength]; } |
Decode as:
1 2 3 4 |
- (UIImage *)decodeBase64ToImage:(NSString *)strEncodeData { NSData *data = [[NSData alloc]initWithBase64EncodedString:strEncodeData options:NSDataBase64DecodingIgnoreUnknownCharacters]; return [UIImage imageWithData:data]; } |
