For a personal project i would like to convert files of any types (pdf, png, mp3…) to bytes type and then reconvert the bytes file to the original type.
I made the first part, but i need help for the second part.
In the following example, I read a .jpg file as bytes and i save its content in the "content" object. Now i would like to reconvert "content" (bytes type) to the original .jpg type.
test_file = open("cadenas.jpg", "rb")
content = test_file.read()
content
b'\xff\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10JFIF\x00\x0 ...
Could you help me ?
Regards
>Solution :
Pictures uses Base64 encoding.
This should do the job.
import base64
test_file = open('cadenas.jpg', 'rb')
content = test_file.read()
content_encode = base64.encodestring(content)
content_decode = base64.decodebytes(content_encode)
result_file = open('cadenas2.jpg', 'wb')
result_file.write(content_decode)
