How to Convert Binary Data to a Blob URL for Images in HTML

When working with images in web development, you may encounter binary data that needs to be displayed on a webpage. For instance, you might have a string of binary data representing an image, such as 137, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10, 0.

In this post, we’ll explore how to convert this binary data into a Blob URL, which can then be used to display the image in HTML. This can be particularly useful when you have image data stored in a non-standard format and need to present it in a more web-friendly manner.

Step-by-Step Solution

To successfully convert your binary data into a Blob URL, you'll need to follow several steps. Below is a breakdown of each step along with sample code for guidance.

Step 1: Convert the String to an Array of Integers

The first step is to convert the string representation of your binary data into an actual array of integers. You can achieve this by splitting the string on commas and mapping each value to an integer.

Step 2: Convert the Array to a Binary String

Next, you need to convert the array of integers into a binary string. This is done by using the String.fromCharCode method, which takes a list of numbers and returns the corresponding string.

Step 3: Encode the Binary String to Base64

After you have your binary string, the next step is to encode it using Base64. This encoding allows the binary data to be transmitted as text, which is essential for embedding images directly into HTML.

Step 4: Create the Blob URL and Set the Image Source

Finally, you'll combine your Base64 string with the appropriate data URL to create the Blob URL. Depending on the image format (like JPEG or PNG), make sure you adjust the type accordingly.

Important Considerations

Always ensure you're using the correct MIME type (e.g., image/png, image/jpeg, etc.) based on your image format.

When handling large image data, consider performance implications and optimizations that may be necessary.

By following these steps, you will be able to convert binary data into a Blob URL and display the associated image in your HTML application. This technique is a valuable skill for web developers looking to enhance their image handling capabilities.
