Base64 Images
Hi mmattar ,
Actually, PowerBI has a limitation in the size of Base64 column, but I haven't found a document describing this. Besides, we can't find a method to reduce the size of Base64, you can consider reduce the quality of image and convert it to Base64 again.
As a workaround, we can upload the image to server, then use the image url to display it.

Hi mmattar ,
Some Online storage provider like Azure or Onedrive can provide the web url for a picture, https://www.fourmoo.com/2017/09/26/power-bi-using-onedrive-to-embed-and-host-images-for-power-bi/

I read that if the encoded Base64 column reaches max limit that the image does not show in full, this just happened to me, i see the image but its cut off. anyway to shorten the Base64 format to view the whole image ?
the character limit for a string is 32,766, anyways of reducing ?
I believe so. Now if only I can get my image sizes standardized so base64 will always fit in the column.
