Symfony 4 file controller helper how to convert binary file to HTML compatible?

Trying to retrieve an image from outside public. I have been using file controller helper but still can't get it to work:

here is my code that is returned as AJAX to update the IMG SRC path

$imgPATH = $this->getParameter('kernel.project_dir').'/uploads/user_profile_pictures/';

$ext = [".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif"];

foreach ($ext as $x) {
    $imgPath = $this->getParameter('kernel.project_dir').'/uploads/user_profile_pictures/'.$usertoPic.$x;

    if (file_exists($imgPath)) {
       return $this->file($imgPath , 'userProfilePicture.png' , ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_INLINE);
    } 
}

The image is found by PHP but I get the following broken HTML in the browser; I think this is because it is binary ? how can I convert it to HTML compliant ?

<img id="userIMG" src="�PNG��IHDR���S���S���lЬW���pHYs��.#��.#x�v��OiCCPPhotoshop ICC profile��xڝSgTS�=���BK���KoR RB���&amp;*!J�!��Q�EEȠ�����Q,������������{�kּ������&gt;�����H3Q5��B�������.@�$p��d!s�#��~&lt;&lt;+&quot;���x���M��0���B�\���t�8K��@z�B��@F���&amp;S���`�cb��P-�`" �������{�[�!���="" e�d�h;���v�e�x0�fk�9��-�0iwfh��������="" �0q��)�{�`�##x����f�w<�+��*��x��<�$9e�[-qww.(�i+6aa�@.�y�2�4�����������x����6��_-��"bb���ϫp@���t~��,="" ��;�m��%�h^�u��f�@�����w�p�~<<e���������j�b[a�w}�g�_�w�l�~<�����$�2]�g�����l�ϒ="" �b��g�����"�ib�x*�qq�d���2�"�b�)�%��d��,�="">

Your browser cannot have access to a file that is not in the public (for Symfony 4) folder. That is pretty much the whole point of having a "public" directory.

What you can do is serving the file directly as a binary response given a certain link in your app, like documented here: https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-3-2-file-controller-helper

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class ImgController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/get-my-img")
     */
    public function getImg()
    {
        $basePath = $this->getParameter('kernel.root_dir').'/uploads/user_profile_pictures/';

        return $this->file($basePath . "img.png");
    }
}

    // this should work quite simple:

    // site/public/css/style.css
    <link href="{{ asset('css/style.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" />

    // site/upload/favicon.ico
    <img src="{{ asset('../upload/favicon.ico') }}" />




    $target_dir = '/upload/favicon.ico'; // param in config

    $file = $this->getParameter('kernel.project_dir') . $target_dir;
    if(is_file($file)) dump('found: ' . $file);
