ExtractBase64Images(html) Last updated: 15. Oct 2024
API only function
This function extracts images encoded in base64 from an HTML string. It then converts these images to a more storage-efficient format by saving them separately as embedded files. The revised HTML string will reference these images using a Content ID (CID) mechanism, similar to how images are referenced in email attachments.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| html | string | The HTML string that contains images encoded in base64 format, which are to be extracted. |
Returns
An object containing details of the extracted images and the modified HTML code, which has updated image references using CIDs.
