Why Are My Base64‑Encoded Images Failing to Render in the PDF Output?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Start by checking that your Base64 image is correctly embedded in the HTML. The correct format should be:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA..." />

Make sure that:

  • The src attribute starts with data:image/png;base64, (or image/jpeg for JPEGs).

  • The Base64 string is complete, with no missing or extra characters.

  • There are no line breaks, spaces, or formatting issues in the string.
