how to convert an image to base64 image in flutter?

I am actually trying to convert an image picked by ImagePicker in flutter to base64 image. I am always getting the error. 

FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = 
'file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/Abid_Wipro_neemuchwala1- 
770x433.jpg' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)
E/flutter ( 5042): #0      _File.throwIfError 
(dart:io/file_impl.dart:628)
E/flutter ( 5042): #1      _File.openSync 
(dart:io/file_impl.dart:472)
E/flutter ( 5042): #2      _File.readAsBytesSync 
(dart:io/file_impl.dart:532)

the code i am using is this one.

     File fileData;
   /////////////...........


      new Container(
            child: new FutureBuilder<File>(
              future: imageFile,
              builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<File> snapshot) {
                if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done &&
                    snapshot.data != null) {
                  fileData = snapshot.data;


                  return new Container(
                    height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height / 2,
                    width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
                    margin: const EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
                    decoration: new BoxDecoration(
                      image: new DecorationImage(
                        image: new FileImage(snapshot.data,),
                        fit: BoxFit.cover
                      ),
                    ),
                  );
                } else if (snapshot.error != null) {
                  return new Column(children: <Widget>[
                    centerWidget('Choose Image or Audio or Video'),
                    _circleAvatar()
                  ]);
                } else {
                  return new Column(children: <Widget>[
                    centerWidget('Choose Image or Audio or Video'),
                    _circleAvatar()
                  ]);
                }
              },
            ),
          ),
/////////////////

    File imageFile = new File(widget.fileData.uri.toString());
    List<int> imageBytes = imageFile.readAsBytesSync();
    String base64Image = base64Encode(imageBytes);

Please, can someone tell me where is it that i am making a mistake .

Many thanks, Mahi

String imagepath = " /data/user/img.jpg"; 
//image path, you can get it with image_picker package

File imagefile = File(imagepath); //convert Path to File
Uint8List imagebytes = await imagefile.readAsBytes(); //convert to bytes
String base64string = base64.encode(imagebytes); //convert bytes to base64 string
print(base64string);

I achieve this in that way

If you import the io package and convert:

import 'dart:io' as io;
import 'dart:convert';

you can simply change the image to string :

final bytes = io.File(imageBytes.path).readAsBytesSync();

String img64 = base64Encode(bytes);

try to use Content-Type:charset=utf-8

in my case i use "Content-Type":"application/json; charset=utf-8" in header of my api

http.post(
        Uri.parse(url),
        body: myBody,
        headers: {"Content-Type":"application/json; charset=utf-8"},
      );

and var baseEncode= base64Encode(await file.readAsBytes()); for encoding

and it works for me

Here a simple function:

String convertIntoBase64(File file) {
List<int> imageBytes = file.readAsBytesSync();
String base64File = base64Encode(imageBytes);
return base64File;
}

I see that more than one has already answered the question. But I allow myself to put my solution and it works for me. I use file_picker: ^5.0.1

void openFileImageExplorer() async {
    //try {
      final pickedFile = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
          allowedExtensions: ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'bmp', 'gif']
      );
      if (pickedFile == null) {
        return;
      }

    final file = pickedFile.files.first;

    final bytes = File(file.path!).readAsBytesSync();
    String img64 = base64Encode(bytes);
    setState(() {
      imageBase64 = img64;
    });

    logCat(img64);
    //} catch(ex, trace ){
    //  logError(ex, trace: trace);
    //}
}

And to display the image

Image.memory( base64Decode(imageBase64), fit: BoxFit.cover )

and I hope it will help...

//this is dart code
final bytes = File(image!.path).readAsBytesSync();  
String base64Image = base64Encode(bytes);
print("imgbytes : $base64Image");

//this is flutter code for image picker
Future uploadAll() async {
var bytes = File(image!.path).readAsBytesSync();
String base64Image = base64Encode(bytes);
print('upload proccess started');

var apipostdata = {
  "title": contentController.text.toString().toUpperCase(),
  "book_image": base64Image,
  "book_type": _genderRadioBtnVal,
};
await http
    .post(Uri.parse('http://192.168.29.111:8000/api/book/add_book'),
        body: apipostdata)
    .then((response) {
  var returndata = jsonEncode(response.body);
  if (response.statusCode == 200) {
    print(returndata);
  } else {
    print('failed');
  }
}).catchError((err) {
  setState(() {
    err;
  });
});  }

In my case, i first selected the image using image_picker then use these line of code to convert the image to base64.

 final bytes = File(image!.path).readAsBytesSync();
                          String base64Image =  "data:image/png;base64,"+base64Encode(bytes);

                          print("img_pan : $base64Image");

image_picker code :

  final ImagePicker _picker = ImagePicker();
  XFile? image;

                  Container(
                    margin: const EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
                    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(3.0),
                    decoration: BoxDecoration(
                        border: Border.all(color: Colors.black),
                      borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(5.h))
                    ),
                    child:InkWell(
                    onTap: () async {
                      image = await _picker.pickImage(
                          source: ImageSource.gallery);
                      setState(() {});
                    },
                    child: image != null
                        ? Image.file(
                            File(image!.path),
                            height: 100.h,
                            width: 100.w,
                          )
                        : Image.asset(
                            'assets/image_icon.png',
                            height: 100.h,
                            width: 100.w,
                      fit: BoxFit.fill,
                          ),
                  ),),

In case you are trying to manage image/file uploads using Flutter Web, https://pub.dev/packages/file_picker is a better package to go with.

As we know, dart:io is not supported on Flutter Web and throws Unsupported operation: _Namespace error. Hence, using File and reading file's bytes was not an option. Luckily, the package provides API to convert the uploaded image to Uint8List. Here is my implementation:

import 'package:file_picker/file_picker.dart';

...

FilePickerResult? pickedFile;

...

void chooseImage() async {
    pickedFile = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();
    if (pickedFile != null) {
      try {
        setState(() {
          logoBase64 = pickedFile!.files.first.bytes;
        });
      } catch (err) {
        print(err);
      }
    } else {
      print('No Image Selected');
    }
}

In case you need to display the local image right away, use Image.memory.

Image.memory(logoBase64!);

I just changed my code as follows,

import 'dart:convert';

List<int> imageBytes = widget.fileData.readAsBytesSync();
print(imageBytes);
String base64Image = base64Encode(imageBytes);

and this is working fine now.

It is better to read it asynchronously as the image can be very large which may cause blocking of the main thread

 List<int> imageBytes = await widget.fileData.readAsBytes();
