from this page
http://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/baggage-on-conveyor-band_48876

I just copy and paste the html code (Base64 / svg) into my website.
But the icon is not displayed. why?

Here is an example http://jsfiddle.net/Lsr4s/

UPDATE:
I dont get it. I copy another image/icon and it is broken too, but the base64 code has no "=" jsfiddle.net/TYb59 Is the flatIcon.com page so buggy?

Can I fix this images/icons?

Answer 1

The base64 code that you have copied is broken. Close to the end there is == in the middle of the code. That is a filler that is placed at the end of a base64 code.

Remove the part after == , and it will work fine.

Edit:

Downloading the svg file from the site and base64 encoding it gives exactly the same result. If there is no signature that you can use to easily fix the code, that is what you would need to do.

I used C# code like this to base64 encode the image to a text file:

File.WriteAllText(@"d:\temp\baggage19.txt", Convert.ToBase64String(File.ReadAllBytes(@"d:\temp\baggage19.svg")));

Answer 2

So, after trying a few things (I really needed to display SVG as src="data:"). I came across a couple key points:

• You don't have to encode it as base64, pure svg can be used, this makes it much more readable, as well as smaller both in length and after gzip. It's also much easier to test/debug/edit.
• It is imperitive to have the xmlns attribute in the svg tag regardless of whether you use base64, or utf8. That was the piece that eluded me the most.

Now without further ado, a simple example:

<img src="data:image/svg+xml;utf8, <svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'><line x1='0' y1='0' x2='200' y2='200' style='stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2'/></svg>" />

Answer 3

did not displayed, according to https://www.base64decode.org/ your base64 contains error

in the end you add ==5324e483b5f25ab4badb7c52c102103e - that had an incorrect data !

So i advise you use some tool to correctly convert image data to base64 string. like in https://www.base64encode.org/ and all will be ok !

I had a similar problem today and came to the following conclusion:

Usage of the <embed> tag as describedhere had the best compatibility over the tested browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome on Mac OS). The above code would be written as:

I would recommend downloading the image. Upload it yourself and putting it with the link. Look at my comment above. Not letting me post jsfiddle..
