points
In this short article, we would like to show how to convert *.jpg (*.jpeg) file to Data URL encoded with base64 using Bash.
Quick solution:
echo -n "data:image/jpeg;base64,$(cat input_image.jpg | base64 | tr -d '\r\n')" > output_image.txt
Where: input_image.jpg is converted to output_image.txt (Data URL with base64 inside).
Example result
Now Data URL is written to output_image.txt can be used as an embedded resource on the web page, eg.
<html>
<body>
<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/4QBoRXhpZgAATU0 ...">
</body>
</html>
