I am having trouble uploading to my cloud via base64 encoded image.

Here is the encoded string: https://ctxt.io/2/AACw8dghFQ


My code is:

 const base64Url = changedDesktopPortrait.valueOf() as string;

const base64Data = base64Url.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm, "");

const desktopRes = cloudinary.uploader

        .upload_large(base64Data, {

          folder: uploadFolder,

          public_id: "desktopPortrait",

          overwrite: true,

          resource_type: "image",

        })

        .then((res) => {

          return res;

        });

    Hi,

    To upload an image using its base64 format, the actual Base64 data can be used (i.e. without encoding it) - for example:

    const base64Image = 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==';
const uploadFolder = 'some_folder';

result = cloudinary.uploader.upload_large(base64Image, {
 folder: uploadFolder,
 public_id: "desktopPortrait",
 overwrite: true,
 resource_type: "image",
})
 .then((res) => {
  console.log(res);
  return res;
 });

    For Upload API documentation, see: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_upload_api_reference#upload_required_parameters

    Hope this helps. Let me know if further clarification is needed.
