A brief introduction of 'base64' functions 'b64encode' and 'b64decode': (base) C:\Users\Ashish Jain>python Python 3.7.1 (default, Dec 10 2018, 22:54:23) [MSC v.1915 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from base64 import b64encode as b, b64decode as d >>> s = 'hello' >>> b(bytes(s, 'utf-8')) b'aGVsbG8=' >>> bs = b(bytes(s, 'utf-8')) >>> d(bs) b'hello' >>> d(b'aGVsbG8=') b'hello' >>> d(bs).decode("utf-8") 'hello' Now with image: from base64 import b64decode, b64encode image_handle = open('test_image.png', 'rb') raw_image_data = image_handle.read() encoded_data = b64encode(raw_image_data) with open('i.txt', 'wb') as f: f.write(encoded_data) with open('i.txt', 'rb') as f: b = f.read() print(type(b)) [class 'bytes'] print(encoded_data == b) True with open('i.png', 'wb') as f: f.write(b64decode(b)) If you have a text file and it has data such as this: b'iVB...ggg==' That means you had called str() function on 'bytes' type data and saved that string. If you have a text file that has data such as this: iVB...ggg== Then, you can read this file as ">>> with open('img.txt', 'rb') as f:" to get a 'bytes' type data.
