Save base64 image in django file field

import base64from django.core.files.base import ContentFileformat, imgstr = data.split(';base64,') ext = format.split('/')[-1] data = ContentFile(base64.b64decode(imgstr), name='temp.' + ext) # You can save this as file instance.

Use this code snippet to decode the base64 string.

import base64from django.core.files.base import ContentFileimage_data = requestData['user']['image']format, imgstr = image_data.split(';base64,')print("format", format)ext = format.split('/')[-1]data = ContentFile(base64.b64decode(imgstr))  file_name = "'myphoto." + extuser.image.save(file_name, data, save=True) # image is User's model field

it's an old thread but this can be helpful:

import base64from django.core.files.base import ContentFiledef base64_file(data, name=None):    _format, _img_str = data.split(';base64,')    _name, ext = _format.split('/')    if not name:        name = _name.split(":")[-1]    return ContentFile(base64.b64decode(_img_str), name='{}.{}'.format(name, ext))

and you can use it like:

from my_app.models import ImageModel, FileModelimage = ImageModel.objects.create(base64_file(img_base64_str))# or even base64 files, with custome namefile = FileModel.objects.create(base64_file(data=img_base64_str, name="custome_name"))

and also if you need base64 encoded files for test, here you go:
